Prognathism is a positional relationship of the mandible or maxilla to the skeletal base where either of the jaws protrudes beyond a predetermined imaginary line in the coronal plane of the skull.
In the case of mandibular prognathism (never maxillary prognathism), this is often also referred to as Habsburg chin, '''Habsburg's chin, Habsburg jaw or Habsburg's jaw' especially when referenced with the context of its prevalence amongst historical members of the House of Habsburg.
