Abstract
A protocol for cephalometric analysis is presented to enable the clinician to evaluate the bony face by subdividing it into four components: 1. Vertical facial measurements 2. Horizontal midface measurements 3. Horizontal lower face measurements 4. Dental measurements. The clinician is encouraged to view the components alone and together. Caution is advised in deriving the treatment plans solely from the cephalometric analysis. Emphasis is placed on integrating the data derived from the cephalometric analysis with the clinical picture, history, dental model analysis, soft-tissue analysis, and patient desires.Keywords
