Steiner cephalometric analysis
Steiner cephalometric analysis is a method used in orthodontics to assess the relationships between facial and dental structures. By taking X-ray images of the skull, orthodontists can measure angles and distances between key points, helping them understand the alignment of teeth and jaws. This analysis assists in diagnosing dental issues, planning treatment, and predicting how changes will affect a patient's appearance and oral function. Essentially, it provides a detailed blueprint for creating a well-balanced and functional smile while considering the individual's unique facial features.
