Association of Nasal Septum Area and Deviation with Anteroposterior Maxillary Position and Facial Skeletal Asymmetries
… to exert a downward and forward effect on the midface. This phenomena is well documented in vitro and on animals but is still uncertain in humans. This study examined the nasal septum association with craniofacial structures using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of human subjects. First, …

Influence of Outdoor Air Quality on Maxillofacial Growth and Development
… measurements of facial depth (FD), total face height (TFH), lower face height (LFH), facial axis (FA), and mandibular plane (MP) were made on the initial T1 lateral cephalometric radiographs. Statistical Analysis: Spearman's rho was used to determine if an association existed between the …

Changes in Integumental Dimensions of the Face Following Orthodontic Treatment: A Long-term Study
… assess the extents of sexual dimorphism of the face across the age span. Transverse dimensions generally increased significantly in both sexes with Lower face width (GoL-GoR) increasing more than any other measurement for both men (18%) and women (7%), which apparently is due to weight gain …

Comparison of Digital and CBCT Synthesized Lateral Cephalograms
… of Ricketts facial axis (P = 0.001), lower face height (P = 0.027), and mandibular arch (P = 0.029) for Group 1. The angular measurements were not statistically different (P > 0.05) with the exception of Ricketts facial axis (P = 0.020), interincisal angle (P = 0.044), and lower face height …

Orthodontic Treatment of Anterior Open-bite With and Without Skeletal Anchorage
… counterparts, particularly in change in lower face height, anterior face height, and maxillary molar vertical height. Patients with TADs in both arches tended to exhibit even more noticeable skeletal and facial changes, with reduced extrusion of incisors. Stability rates were higher for TAD …

A Pilot Study on the Evaluation of Short Term Effects of Jasper Jumper Therapy
… 1) the facial axis did not open and the lower face height did not increase significantly for this group of patients, 2) there is an intrusive effect delivered to the upper first molars, 3) superimpositions revealed efficient orthodontic movement of the upper first molar with some advancement …

Sleeping Tongue Posture and Its Relationship to Craniofacial Morphology
… and inversely correlated with palatal height, ratio of palatal height/palatal width, and lower face height (p < .002, .001, 028 respectively). Independent samples median tests showed that TPI was significantly lower for subjects that snore, breathe through their mouth and nose, and …

Are post-treatment orthognathic patients attractive? A three-dimensional study
… the females showed a slightly flatter upper face. Part II Aims: To determine whether post-operative orthognathic patients look attractive based on objective measurements of 3D soft-tissue facial landmarks. Materials and Methods: 16 male orthognathic patients and 17 female orthognathic …

Evaluation of the Treatment Effects of the Functional Regulator of Fränkel in the Correction of Angle Class II Malocclusions
One of the greatest challenges an orthodontist faces is the correction of Angle Class II malocclusions. Several different treatment options are available to correct saggital jaw discrepancies that often exist in these individuals. Traditionally, headgear has been used to restrain forward maxillary …

The Influence of Facial Parameters on Orthognathic Patient, Layperson and Clinician Perceived Attractiveness
… 1 (chapter 3): The craniofacial height of an idealized image was altered from 1/6 to 1/10 of standing height, creating 10 images shown in random order to 89 observers (74 laypeople; 15 clinicians), who ranked the images from most to least attractive.<br/>Part 2 (chapters 4-8): …
