Opis

The most distinguishing feature about ideal faces is that they are well proportioned and symmetric in every aspect. If the future maxillo-mandibular divergence pattern of an individual can be predicted, it may lead to correction of the vertical discrepancy during childhood via growth modification and avoidance of later orthognathic surgery. This is the first extensive work which evaluated the association of maxillary and mandibular angular parameters with atlas vertebra.
