Long Face Morphology. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning to Achieve Ideal Facial Esthetics

      Аннотация: Long face morphology is a relatively common presentation among orthodontic patients. Despite being described extensively in the orthodontic literature, the long face morphology still remains unclear. The term “Long Face” depicts only the vertical component of the three dimensional problem which exists in these patients. Most studies to date concentrate on only the open bite variant of this multifaceted problem. The aim of this book is to comprehensively present the varied clinical manifestations, diagnosis, etiology, treatment panning and available treatment modalities of the “Long Face vertical problems”. A team of Orthodontists, Oral surgeons, Plastic surgeons and General Dentists is required when dealing with a Long Face vertical problem in a patient. The literature in this book should help shed some light on diagnosis and treatment of long face towards achieving ideal facial aesthetics, and should be especially useful to professionals in the field of dentistry and plastic surgery.
