The architectural and structural craniofacial analysis is based upon mutual balance of the cranial and facial bony structures. With this technique, the bases and calvaria of the cranium and then the face can be studied successively in relation to the cranium and craniospinal articulation. Statistical averages are avoided, and individual proportions influenced by the unique features of each skeleton are relied upon. The dentition is placed within the cephalic context, and therapy etiologic factors of dentofacial dysmorphoses which would not otherwise be demonstrated by conventional analysis are made obvious. This technique is particularly useful to the maxillofacial surgeon, as it clearly demonstrates all of the maxillofacial deformities and the pathologic balances that need to be corrected. In severe craniofacial malformations, it offers better possibilities than other cephalometric analysis methods of detecting the various cranial and facial anomalies which characterize these conditions.
颅面的结构和构造分析基于颅骨和面部骨骼结构的相互平衡。运用这项技术，可以依次研究颅骨的基部、颅顶，进而研究面部与颅骨及颅骨与脊柱关节的关系。避免使用统计平均值，而是依据受每个骨骼独特特征影响的个体比例。将牙列置于头部背景中，使牙颌面畸形的治疗病因因素得以显现，而这些因素在传统分析中无法体现。这项技术对颌面外科医生特别有用，因为它能清晰地显示所有需要矫正的颌面畸形和病理平衡。在严重的颅面畸形中，与其他头影测量分析方法相比，它在检测这些病症所特有的各种颅骨和面部异常方面具有更好的可能性。
