craniofacial landmarks

Craniofacial landmarks are specific points on the skull and face used by doctors and dentists to identify precise locations for examination, diagnosis, and treatment. These landmarks help in understanding facial structure, planning surgeries, or designing orthodontic appliances. Examples include the tip of the nose, the corners of the eyes, and the chin. They serve as consistent reference points to describe the position and relationships of facial features, ensuring accurate communication and treatment across different practitioners and procedures.
