By adopting the 3dMD dynamic system, we captured, for the first time, a significant increase in RMS values during key facial movements, including smile lips open, lip purse, and cheek puff, following traction treatment. As an orthopedic treatment, anterior traction provides a structural basis for the forward development of the maxilla by stimulating the patient’s own growth potential and promoting bone suture reconstruction.

Facial asymmetry in syndromic craniosynostosis patients undergoing midface surgery compared to a large general population. P Rostamzad, X Liu, EB Wolvius, MM Pleumeekers, G Roshchupkin, T Abdel-Alim.

On average, the lateral cephalometric radiographs might provide an adequate representation of the facial profile, but when individual patients are considered, there is often a clinically significant error. Thus, lateral cephalograms should be used with caution to evaluate the facial soft-tissue profile.
