Abstract
This paper describes a method of cephalometric analysis which is currently used
by the author in the evaluation and treatment planning of orthodontic and
orthognathic surgery patients. In the analysis of a single film, the positions of the
maxilla and mandible are related to cranial structures and to each other. Criteria
for evaluation of the anteroposterior and vertical positions of the upper and lower
incisors are provided, as is the documentation of the standards for each of the
measures. In addition, the analysis of serial films is considered and a step-by-step
outline of the cephalometric procedure is presented.
