The use of the occlusogram in planning orthodontic treatment.
A method of planning orthodontic treatment in the transverse plane has been presented. The occlusogram procedure outlined augments other orthodontic records in order to define more specifically the requirements of successful orthodontic treatment. Anchorage requirements, extractions, if any, and arch widths plus the final occlusal relationships can be determined at the outset of orthodontic treatment.
