Figure 4

Mandibular angular variables Gonion angle (top),Gnathion Angle (center), and Lingual Angle (bottom)over the course of development. The left panel shows mandibular angular measurements in degrees from male (open triangle) and female (shaded circle) mandibles as a function of age in years. The data are fitted with growth curve/trend using a fourth degree polynomial fit for male (solid line) and female (dashed line) mandibles. The second y-axis on the right displays the percent growth of adult size for males (outward tick orientation) and females (inward tick orientation). The right panel shows the growth rate as a function of age as derived from its corresponding growth trend fit in the left panel.
