Years before we are born, tiny changes can happen while we grow in the womb.

    Some of these changes are small and may not be noticed.

    They may even cause only minor trouble.

    Others can lead to major problems with how we eat and how we talk.

    This also includes how our teeth come in.   Sometimes, these changes can get bundled together and form a syndrome making it tough to deal with.

    However, sometimes kids and adults can have a mix of these little issues.

    But they don't affect them in the same tough way. .

    Scientists have known for ages and know this as rare.

    They are often named and described in medical journals, such as seen in the "Budgie bite.

    This specific "Budgie bite" case showed three key things: a small lower jaw, fewer teeth than normal, and a tongue that is too attached to the bottom of the mouth.    This case was special and entirely unique to known syndromes.

    These three issues can seem like a whole lot to manage.

    But the folks who took a look at this case did not focus on them in the same old way.

    They wanted to make a new angle on it. They introduced the idea of having a look at it and calling it something new.

    Doctors and researchers can use it in a variety of ways and gain valuable insights to more effectively diagnosis and treatment plans.

    In the past, this unique set of differences was never mentioned in the medical world.

    Being open to new ideas and solutions helps advance knowledge.

    Lets look at it this way. If we only learn about normal things, how will we learn to treat rare cases.

    These new ideas can better the lives of those affected.

    Additionally, they can give insights to doctors is other ways to be able to check for similar conditions. .

    If this case can be diagnosed accurately and treated.

    Then we can be on our way to better outcomes.

    It will also give these differences less of a stigma.

    This can is a very positive and hopeful thought.

    It's important to see these singular differences because they can shed light on complex problems.

    They give a glimpse into what little today is known about such disabilities. How doctors respond is key.

    They are the very first defense to the problem.

      They serve as the gate keepers. They set the standard for both patients and other medical professionals.

    Understanding these unusual sets of differences teaches all of us.

    It also teaches us that the medical world is endlessly complex and evolving.

    So lets talk about it.
