cephalometric reference values

Cephalometric reference values are standard measurements used by orthodontists to analyze the relationships of the bones and soft tissues in the head and face through X-ray images. These values help assess growth, identify dental or skeletal issues, and plan treatment. Think of them as a set of benchmarks that provide a clear picture of how everything in the head is proportioned and aligned. By comparing an individual’s measurements to these reference values, professionals can determine what adjustments may be needed for optimal function and aesthetics.
