For infants up to age three months, 3D images were performed in our neonatal intermediate care unit in the supine position using a 10Hz 3dMDface.t System with this set-up being developed specifically for this study. Subsequently, 3D images were taken in an upright position with infants sitting on their parent’s lap in the department of orthodontics using a 10Hz 3dMDtrio.t system.
