Objectives
1 To establish patterns of the shape development of face and dental arch in adolescents from 12 through 15 to 18 years based on a prospective, population-based Chinese cohort in Hong Kong. 2 To investigate the developmental shape changes in face and dental arch morphology from 12 through 15 to 18 years using Geometric Morphometric Analyses. 3 To investigate the association between BMI growth patterns and shape development of face and dental arch in adolescents from 12 through 15 to 18 years using Geometric Morphometric Analyses accounting for static allometry.
