xkiki Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Are there software available for precise facial bone measurement?
k-couture Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 no and it doesn't work like that either to get perfect symmetry because for one, no one has a perfectly symmetrical face. We all have some degree of natural asymmetry. Second, the cheekbones for example are linked to the socket bone and other parts of the facial region. Those parts cannot be altered and hence to get it perfectly symmetrical is also impossible.
heylo Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 The OP's question also concerned the types of imaging used to assess the facial bone structure. From my understanding, there are lots of different types. If you're interested in orthognathic surgery, the most basic one that's used to assess your profile and dentition is a cephalometric x-ray. For a more comprehensive picture, there are cone beam scans and CTs that produce a 3D image of the entire skull.
