cephalometric parameters

Cephalometric parameters are measurements taken from X-ray images of the head to assess the relationships and angles between different facial bones and structures. These measurements help orthodontists and dentists evaluate jaw alignment, bite patterns, and facial growth, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. They include angles and distances that quantify how the upper and lower jaws relate to each other, the position of teeth within the jaws, and overall facial harmony. Understanding these parameters helps ensure that treatments result in functional, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing results.
