Natural head position, a reproducible function, correlates with skeletodental features in growing and non-growing individuals. A new, simple method using minimal radiographs reliably determines this clinical association.

Area of Science:

Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Human Anatomy and Physiology

Background:

Standing natural head position is a reproducible, physiologically determined aspect of function.
Recent studies show associations between natural head position and skeletodental features in growing and non-growing individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple method for determining the clinical reliability of natural head position.
To obviate the need for multiple radiographs in assessing this parameter.

Main Methods:

A novel, simple device was developed for assessing standing natural head position.
The construction and method of use for this device are described.

Main Results:

The described method provides a reliable means to determine clinical associations.

Minimal radiographic exposure is required, enhancing clinical practicality.

Conclusions:

The developed method offers a straightforward and reliable approach to assess natural head position.
This technique aids in understanding the relationship between head posture and skeletodental morphology.
