comment
Objective measurement of the upper facial width is made with spreading calipers. The tips of the calipers are passed over the zygomatic arches until the maximum width is determined. Objective measurement of the lower faces is made with spreading calipers, with the tips firmly pressed against the inferomedial surface of the angle of the mandible.
