Changes in the symphysis orientation and inclination with age. The illustration on the left represents younger individuals, whereas the one on the right represents older individuals. No change in the symphysis inclination relative to the MP (α angle) was evident (α1 is similar to α2), whereas the symphysis orientation relative to the FH plane (β angle) increased with age (β1 < β2); this was probably due to a forward rotation of the mandible (arrow).
