Serial measurements of facial asymmetry using a wooden tongue depressor in patients with congenital microtia

Background and Objectives: Congenital microtia may be associated with hemifacial microsomia, but little is known about their correlation and development with aging. Historically, facial asymmetry is easily assessed by observing the occlusal cant using a tongue depressor. We serially measured the occlusal cant in children with microtia to evaluate change in facial asymmetry with growth.
