Ricketts cephalometric analysis

Ricketts cephalometric analysis is a method used in orthodontics to assess the relationship between the teeth, jaw, and skull based on X-ray images of the head. It involves measuring specific angles and distances to evaluate dental and facial structure. This analysis helps orthodontists understand a patient's alignment and guides treatment planning, ensuring that braces or other devices create a balanced and functional bite. Essentially, it’s a scientific way to analyze how the different parts of the face and jaw grow and fit together, aiding in more effective and personalized dental care.
