\n

Understanding Condylar Hyperplasia<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Condylar hyperplasia is a condition involving excessive growth of the mandibular condyle, the portion of the lower jaw that forms the jaw joint (TMJ). It most commonly affects one condyle and can cause the lower jaw to gradually lengthen or shift as growth continues, leading to facial asymmetry, chin deviation, bite changes, and progressive imbalance of the lower face.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Profile Analysis<\/h3><\/div>

Profile evaluation focuses on progressive changes in jaw position and facial balance over time. In condylar hyperplasia, continued condylar overgrowth may gradually shift, lengthen, or rotate the lower jaw as asymmetry develops.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Common Functional Issues<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>

Eating<\/h3><\/div>

Uneven jaw growth can disrupt chewing mechanics, leading to imbalance and fatigue during mastication.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

Speech<\/h3><\/div>

Progressive asymmetry may interfere with coordinated jaw movement, subtly affecting speech clarity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

TMJ Function<\/h3><\/div>

Active condylar overgrowth can cause joint discomfort, clicking, or altered movement patterns.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

Jaw Movement<\/h3><\/div>

Asymmetric growth may lead to deviation during opening or closing of the mouth.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Digital<\/div>

Bite Stability<\/h3><\/div>

Ongoing growth can destabilize previously corrected bite relationships.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

Psychosocial Effects<\/h3><\/div>

Gradually worsening facial asymmetry may impact self-esteem and emotional well-being.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Surgical Management of Condylar Hyperplasia<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Mandibular Surgery (BSSO)<\/h3><\/div>

Once condylar growth has ceased, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy corrects the skeletal asymmetry caused by condylar hyperplasia by repositioning the mandible to level the chin, correct the lateral deviation, and reestablish a balanced bite. Differential positioning of each side allows precise asymmetric correction tailored to the degree of overgrowth. The repositioned jaw is secured with titanium plates and screws, improving chewing, speech, and facial symmetry. Each case is planned with advanced imaging and surgical simulation.
