Craniofacial morphology

Craniofacial morphology refers to the shape and structure of the skull and face. It encompasses the bones, muscles, and tissues that form the head, jaw, and facial features. These structures influence features like jaw alignment, facial symmetry, and the overall appearance of the face. Variations in craniofacial morphology are important for orthodontics, surgery, and understanding certain health conditions. Essentially, it describes how the bones and tissues of the head and face are organized and proportioned, shaping both function and appearance.
