The difference between registered natural head position and estimated natural head position in three dimensions

This study determined the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of re-orientating three-dimensional (3D) facial images into the estimated natural head position. Three-dimensional facial images of 15 pre-surgical class III orthognathic patients were obtained and automatically re-orientated into natural head position (RNHP) using a 3D stereophotogrammetry system and in-house software. Six clinicians were asked to estimate the NHP of these patients (ENHP); they re-estimated five randomly selected 3D images after a 2-week interval.
