Picture comparison of the difference between normal head shape and square skull
The most significant difference between a normal head shape and a square head shape is the facial shape. The face of a normal head shape is relatively uniform in length and width, showing an oval face shape, while a square head shape is larger in width, showing a square face shape. A comparison of a picture can more intuitively show the difference between the two head shapes.
Introduction to head shape classification and characteristics
Normal head shape
The characteristics of a normal head shape are that the face is basically oval, the forehead and chin are relatively narrow and the proportions are relatively coordinated, that is, the head is not abnormally twisted or deformed. In people with normal heads, it is not obvious that the cranial sutures have closed. Normal head shapes will vary depending on factors such as race, gender, age, height, etc., but overall they are coordinated and harmonious.
Square skull
Square skull is a deformity of the skull, usually caused by abnormal development of the rectangular bone plates of the skull during growth. The face of a patient with a square skull has a square-angled rectangular shape, with relatively wider cheeks and forehead, and a wider width at the back of the skull, making the overall outline look weird and unattractive.
Round head
The skull of a round head is basically spherical or nearly spherical, so the face of this type of person looks rounder, the distance between the eyes is shorter, and the cheekbones are more prominent.
Flat head
Flat head means that the base is wide and the head and jaw are enlarged, and the head height and width are equal. Due to the high muscle tension of the head and neck and the structural defects of the muscles and bones of the head and neck, the shape of the head is flat and the transverse direction is greater than the front and rear length.
The difference between normal head shape and square head shape
Differences in facial contours
The face of a normal head shape is oval as a whole, and the lower jaw has a certain contour. The square skull, on the other hand, has a very square face due to the excessive width of the skull.
The difference between cheekbones
The cheekbones of a normal head shape are not very large or protruding, while the cheekbones of a square skull are more protruding and sometimes even uncoordinated.
The difference in skull width
A normal human skull is relatively symmetrical, with a well-proportioned width and height. The skull of the square skull is too wide, too small in height, and the overall proportion is uncoordinated.
Cranial suture closure
The normal skull suturing has been completed long ago and is no longer obvious. The skull of a square skull is not completely sutured, and some gaps are quite obvious.
Summary
Head shape is determined by a combination of genetic and growth factors. A normal head shape is one in which all features are coordinated and harmonious, making it easier for people to like the appearance. Square skull is a kind of cranial deformity with a rectangular face shape, which may affect the appearance, but it does not affect the quality of life and happiness of the individual. Generally speaking, normal people\’s head length, width, height and other aspects show a good proportional relationship. Abnormalities in the skull bring significant deviations from this ideal state.
