Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of prenatal and postnatal craniofacial growth and development. The optimal timing of various orthodontic and surgical interventions for addressing transverse, anteroposterior, and vertical discrepancies is dependent on a thorough appreciation of the sequence, timing, magnitude, and differential expression of craniofacial growth. The different types of interventions for addressing the discrepancies in all three dimensions are illustrated with case examples. Recent advances in developmental genetics and molecular biology are poised to increase our understanding of complex interactions of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental influences that determine human craniofacial morphogenesis, prenatal development, and postnatal growth.
