The purpose of this study was to establish a nonnumeric graphic approach to the evaluation of facial form. By using a centroid-based pattern of orientation, skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue morphologic characteristics can be identified that more reliably represent the uniqueness of the person and are not dependent on nonrepresentative group-based numerical standards. The CentroGraphic Analysis (CGA) cephalomorphically demonstrates vertical and horizontal balance or disharmony in skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue form and position. The Facial Centroid Axis (FCA) provides a relatively stable reference plane that can be used for longitudinal cephalomorphic superimposition.
