What dental orthodontic features are common in Marfan syndrome?
The most striking facial features are having a long, narrow face that is probably more convex than the average face; we call that dolichocephalic. The other features include having a narrow high-arched palate, oftentimes accompanied with crowding, so in other words, the teeth just don't fit properly. The other features that we see in the face such as the corners of the eyes kind of slant downward; we call that downward slanting palpebral fissures and sometimes you may see a flattened cheekbone area and other things that may or may not occur in everyone, but the constellation of these features often can be observed and give or take one or the other feature that's what defines Marfan.
最も際立つ顔の特徴は面長で、おそらく一般的な顔よりも凸型であるということです（長頭とよばれます）。他の特徴としては、口蓋（口の中の上側部分）が高くて狭く、しばしば叢生（歯並びがデコボコ）を伴います。他にも目尻の垂れ下がり（眼瞼裂斜下）や頬骨が平坦などの特徴がありますが、全ての人に認められるわけではありません。ですが、しばしば、これらの一連の特徴が認められることがあり、他に1つ以上の特徴があれば、マルファン症候群と診断されます。
