Brief Answer:
Regarding flat head syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Yes, though it is possible to correct flat head through surgery by reshaping occipital bone and by implants but a flat head usually need not be corrected in adults except in rare cases due to the inherent dangers of surgery. Most of those affected just need reassurance regarding a cosmetic problem.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
Regarding plagiocephaly
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
The most appropriate surgical requirement would be decided by the operating surgeon after examination. Mostly it involves either skull reshaping to flatten the bone and/or implants may be required if the bone defect needs to be filled in or rounded out.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. thank you.
I have viewed the images. In these images there is hardly any discernable flattening of head. The structure of head and forehead looks quite normal to me. There is no need for surgery.

Brief Answer:
Possibly you have cervical dystonia
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Going by your symptoms I believe you have cervical dystonia or torticollis. I suggest you talk to a dental surgeon for a dental appliance that would help decrease or stop the spasmodic muscle contractions.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Regarding problems related to jaw
Detailed Answer:
hi.
Looking at the images, the problem doesn't seem to be that of bones of skull. I don't think ridging on forehead is any concern. It's just a normal variation. Difficulty in opening closing mouth and tilting of head on opening is perhaps related to abnormality of temporomandibular joint or displaced jaw or occlusal edge of jaw. In that case dental surgeon would be best able to address your concerns.
Take care.
