Abstract

Facial asymmetry is common in humans. Significant facial asymmetry causes both functional as well as esthetic problems. Precise diagnosis and treatment of facial asymmetry are important in orthodontics. The aims of this study were to determine the asymmetry characteristics of the upper part of the facial skull in adults. The results of the study show the asymmetry of upper part of skull in both, males and females, however, is more pronounced in males.
