Craniofacial templates for orthodontic case analysis.
1. Age-, sex-, and growth-type-specific craniofacial templates represent a practical approach to orthodontic case analyses and craniofacial growth. 2. The Burlington Growth Centre Cephalometric Analysis is a practical adjunct to treatment planning. 3. This cephalometric analysis, which combines many analyses, is an assessment of the relative proportions of the face in length, width, and height (static analysis) and an estimation of the future changes (dynamic analysis). 4. As an aid in diagnosis, the template and/or analysis in conjunction with a cephalogram, with provide information pertaining to (q) cranial base length angle, (b) upper and lower face height and maxillary and mandibular height, (c) size and proportions of the facial bones, both anteroposteriorly and in width, (d) denture relationship, both anteroposteriorly and in width, and (e) expected general growth changes.
