Re-orientation of the x, y, and z planes. Constructed coordinate system used. a The NFZ plane was composed of the right and left frontozygomatic points and nasion. The frontozygomatic points were defined as the most anterior point of the frontozygomatic suture. See the horizontal line via nasion. b Before re-orientation. c After re-orientation. d The X-axis (transverse axis) is a line parallel to the frontozygomatic (FZ) line. The Y-axis (antero-posterior axis) is a line perpendicular to the FZ line while parallel to the right Frankfort horizontal (R FH) plane. The Z-axis is perpendicular to both the FZ line and R FH plane
