Background: The shape of the skull is affected by numerous bony and muscle features which ultimately work together to create an overall head shape. In a narrow head shape it is marked by a bony temporal line that is more narrow from the forehead to the back of the head. This can make the brow Read More…
Background: The shape of the skull is influenced by a variety of structural elements within it as well as external forces.
