| Definitions |
Bizygomatic (upper face) and bigonial (lower face) width are both more than 2 standard deviations below the mean (objective); or, an apparent reduction in the width of the upper and lower face (subjective). Objective measurement of the upper facial width is made with spreading calipers. The tips of the calipers are passed over the zygomatic arches until the maximum width is determined. Objective measurement of the lower faces is made with spreading calipers, with the tips firmly pressed against the inferomedial surface of the angle of the mandible. |
