Publisher's Synopsis
The characteristics of soft tissues and facial patterns play an important role in the diagnosis and planning of orthodontic or orthodontic/surgical treatment. This book introduces professionals who work transforming smiles and faces to the characteristics of facial soft tissues both at rest and when smiling, and evaluates the dynamic behavior of these tissues in the transition from a serious face to a smile, in the different facial types. These characteristics are presented under the analysis of the most modern diagnostic method, Cone Beam CT scans, and supported by traditional anthropometric analyses. This book has been specially developed for dental and medical professionals interested in craniofacial shape and how it can be improved. Happy reading!
