Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2007 Aug;19(3):395-422, vi. doi: 10.1016/j.coms.2007.05.001.

Abstract

Asymmetries of the craniofacial region encompass a multitude of diverse and potentially complex abnormalities that may be the result of numerous causes. The expression and degree of asymmetry for a given condition, although a highly variable process, is the ultimate determinant of the nature of its treatment. This article highlights some of the key features and treatment strategies for various common facial asymmetries.
