What is a Long Face?
The standard length of the face is 1.3
times the width of the face. But in cases where the face is longer than that, it
can be a sign of a long face. When the face is narrow, it can attribute to
making the face look longer. Patients may still be able to fully close their
mouth and proceed with their daily activities without any problems. In some cases,
individuals with a long face may notice that their upper teeth and gums will be
overly visible when smiling or laughing.
Long Face Characteristics
Different characteristics can be present for individuals with a long face. That is why an in-depth examination and expertise of the facial bone is important. Some individual's long face may be caused only due to the chin being too long. Or in other cases, the length of the upper and lower jaw may have developed too much. The oral & maxillofacial specialist must take into account each patient's unique case, symptoms, and face ratio to find an appropriate surgery method.
