Dental Measurements

Dental measurements refer to the various ways dentists assess the size, shape, and alignment of teeth and jaws. Key measurements include tooth dimensions, spacing, and alignment, which help determine dental health and treatment needs. For example, dentists often measure the depth of gum pockets to check for gum disease or assess the relationship between upper and lower teeth for orthodontic treatment. These measurements are essential for planning effective dental procedures, ensuring proper fit for dentures or braces, and maintaining overall oral health. Accurate measurements contribute to personalized care for each patient's dental needs.
