title: The significance of cephalometrics in treatment planning.
abstract: Twenty-four orthodontists were asked to provide a treatment plan for a series of six cases of malocclusion. In certain types of cases there was high or total agreement on treatment planning whether or not a cephalometric radiograph and analysis was available. In view of these findings, it may be appropriate for orthodontists to reassess their routine use of cephalograms.
