Opis

Facial asymmetry is the imbalance between the two sides of the face, ranging from minor variations common in most individuals to severe deformities affecting function and appearance. It can arise from congenital, developmental, or acquired causes and may involve skeletal, dental, or soft tissue structures. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation and modern imaging, while management ranges from orthodontic camouflage for mild cases to orthognathic or reconstructive surgery for severe ones. Beyond physical correction, the condition also carries psychological and social implications, making a multidisciplinary approach essential.
