This study examines the prevalence of symmetry/asymmetry in various facial structures among children and adolescents of both sexes. 40 persons were examined – ten girls and ten boys of childhood and adolescence. During examination visually determined the symmetry/asymmetry of the following parameters: width face, size and shape of eyes, eyebrows, eyelids, nasolabial folds, corners of the mouth, smiles, the position of the nose and the size and shape of the nostrils, the size, shape and the position of the ears, as well as the coincidence of the midline between the central incisors of the upper and lower jaw.The results indicate that 30% of children (boys and girls) show no visible signs of facial asymmetry. Among adolescents, these figures decrease to 10% for girls and remain at 30% for boys. Asymmetry in a single parameter was observed in 40% of children and 50-70% of adolescents, depending on gender. Asymmetry in multiple parameters was noted in 30% of children and 20% of adolescents, irrespective of sex. In both age groups, the most frequent asymmetry was observed in the smile, making it the most common parameter studied.
