Abstract
Posture of the head and associated position of the cervical spine possibly influences facial morphology in the growing child.
Cephalometric radiographs must be taken with the patient in a relaxed unstrained position which is reproduceable for serial studies. This article discusses accurate methods of posturing the patient for cephalometric radiographs. Included are some of the existing analyses used to assess head and neck posture.
