The impact of facial asymmetry on nasal deviation is an accepted but poorly understood part of plastic surgery and rhinology training. Recently, an increased understanding of the specific structural issues underlying this deformity has led to improved surgical techniques and patient outcomes.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to present the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to unilateral posterior vertical insufficiency.
Material And Methods: The authors describe the management protocol.
Results: Posterior vertical insufficiency (PVI) manifests clinically as obliquity of the maxillo-mandibular occlusal plane and bicommissural line, and deviation of the chin.

Introduction: The cant of the occlusal plane in the frontal plane reflects facial asymmetry. Its treatment requires close collaboration between the orthodontist and the maxillofacial surgeon. In case of mild cant, treatment consists in coordination of dental arches followed by mandibular osteotomy.

Introduction: Modern orthodontics is undergoing a revolution with the advent of 3D imaging, offering unprecedented perspectives for the evaluation and treatment of facial asymmetries. These asymmetries, whether mandibular, maxillary, or dental, require a deeper understanding of their causes and their aesthetic and functional impact. Additionally, associated functional imbalances must be addressed for comprehensive management.

Introduction: Facial asymmetry, present in all human faces at varying degrees, plays a critical role in clinical fields such as orthodontics, orthognathic and plastic surgeries, and craniofacial reconstruction. Accurate quantification of facial asymmetry is essential for diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-surgical evaluation.
Material And Methods: This article examines contemporary methods for quantifying facial asymmetry, including two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) landmark-based approaches, surface curvature analysis, and advanced image-based techniques.

Introduction: The relationship between facial asymmetry and cervical anomaly is rarely mentioned in the diagnosis of dento-maxillo-facial orthopaedics. It is regrettable that the study of the cervical spine is often ignored in the etio-pathogenesis of these dysmorphoses, particularly in cases of facial asymmetry.
Objective: The aim is twofold: to encourage orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons to make a systematic study of the cervical spine in craniofacial dysmorphoses and in particular craniofacial asymmetries, without claiming that they are becoming specialists in cervical spine pathology, and to introduce the necessary training in malformations of this anatomical region as part of the orthodontist specialisation curriculum.
