Abstract

Asymmetry of the face and dental arch is a natural phenomenon. Symmetry can be defined as an equal or corresponding distribution at two extremes, poles or on both sides of the body, in the form of a distribution around a center or an axis. Previous studies have shown that different skeletal patterns have a significant effect on mandibular condyle morphology, and that the jaws are asymmetrical in function and movement, indicating that the left and right sides of the mandible develop differently. Therefore, Symmetry assessment is important in aesthetic assessment of any craniofacial region as well as in assessment of malocclusion.
