Wormian bones
Delayed closure of sutures and fontanels
Obtuse mandibular angle
Gracile clavicles that are hypoplastic at the lateral ends
Partial absence of the hyoid bone
Hypoplasia or aplasia of the distal phalanges and ribs

Dislocations occur when two bones that originally met at the joint detach. Dislocations should not be confused with Subluxation. Subluxation is when the joint is still partially attached to the bone.When a person has a dislocated jaw it is difficult to open and close the mouth. Dislocation can occur following a series of events if the jaw locks while open or unable to close. If the jaw is dislocated, it may cause an extreme headache or inability to concentrate. When the muscles alignment is out of sync, a pain will occur due to unwanted rotation of the jaw.If the pain remains constant, it may require surgery to realign the jaw. Depending on the severity of the jaws dislocation, pain relief such as paracetamol may assist to alleviate the initial chronic pain. If the pain relief is taken for an extended period of time, it may negatively affect the person while talking, eating, drinking, etc. Symptoms
The symptoms can be numerous depending on the severity of the dislocation injury and how long the person is inflicted with the injury. Symptoms of a dislocated jaw include a bite that feels “off” or abnormal, hard time talking or moving jaw, not able to close mouth completely, drooling due to not being able to shut mouth completely, teeth feel they are out of alignment, and a pain that becomes unbearableThe immediate symptom can be a loud crunch noise occurring right up against the eardrum.
