Craniofacial abnormalities are congenital musculoskeletal disorders which primarily affect the cranium and facial bones.[1]
They are associated with the development of the pharyngeal arches.[2] Approximately, 5% of the UK or USA population present with dentofacial deformities requiring Orthognathic surgery, jaw surgery, and Orthodontics, brace therapy, as a part of their definitive treatment.[3][4][5]
