They are associated with the development of the pharyngeal arches.[2] Approximately, 5% of the UK or USA population present with dentofacial deformities requiring Orthognathic surgery, jaw surgery, and Orthodontics, brace therapy, as a part of their definitive treatment.[3][4][5]
Example
gollark: Huh, someone added ABR to a guild at 14:37.
gollark: Test.
gollark: Even unidirectionally! And it automatically and efficiently works out the links!
gollark: I can actually bridge to any Discord channel ABR is in now. ANY of them!
gollark: It's waaaay more elegant than the node.js accursion.
