The underdeveloped maxilla, combined with a relatively normal-sized mandible, creates the characteristic facial profile. Other features include macroglossia, high arched palate, delayed tooth eruption, and increased periodontal disease susceptibility. The maxillary hypoplasia is a key diagnostic facial feature along with the typical mongoloid facies.
