Acquired maxillo-facial deformities and in particular those related to problems of facial expression are nevertheless influenced by certain hereditary factors, amongst which the constitutional type or the temperament of the individual play a major role. Morpho-psychology (L. Corman), or the art of relating physical details (especially the shape and characteristics of the face) with psychological state demonstrates correlations between the type of deformity and that of the temperament and explains them. After a brief review of the essential principles of morpho-psychology, the authors study a number of special morpho-psychological types presenting with a significant frequency maxillo-facial deformities, themselves special, and which for this reason they call "morpho-psychological types with a high orthodontic risk". They conclude that it would appear that insufficient importance is attributed at present to psychological factors in the aetiopathogenesis of dysmorphoses and feel that an overall approach to the deformed child is indispensable to progress in the specialty.
然而，后天获得性颌面畸形，尤其是那些与面部表情问题相关的畸形，会受到某些遗传因素的影响，其中个体的体质类型或气质起着主要作用。形态心理学（L. 科尔曼），即将身体细节（尤其是面部的形状和特征）与心理状态联系起来的艺术，揭示了畸形类型与气质类型之间的相关性并对此加以解释。在简要回顾形态心理学的基本原理之后，作者研究了一些特殊的形态心理类型，这些类型常伴有特殊的颌面畸形，且出现频率较高，因此他们将其称为“正畸风险高的形态心理类型”。他们得出结论，目前在畸形病因学中，心理因素似乎未得到足够重视，并认为对畸形儿童采取全面的治疗方法对于该专业的发展必不可少。
