A diagnostic adjunct in treatment planning for the dentofacial deformity patient.
The purpose of this article is to elucidate individual facial relationships using the concepts of the proportionate analysis as described by Moorrees and others. Diagnosis and treatment must be based upon dynamic orofacial and masticatory muscles as well as occlusal and temporomandibular joint functions in concert with esthetic considerations of the soft-tissue configuration. The Moorrees mesh offers a practical means for the study of proportionate relationships rather than linear and angular measurements.
