title: [Research and establishment of the computerized orthodontic and orthopedic prediction system].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to develop a computerized orthopedics and orthodontics interactive prediction system and verify its reliability.
  
  
  METHODS
  24 cases of Angel II division I patients were selected in the study. All of them had been treated by activator or Frankel functional appliance, and had the satisfied therapy result. Both pre and post-treatment cephalogram of them were used verifying veracity of therapy prediction.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All of cephalometric measure items include 11 angle measure items and 14 distance measure items. There were 9 coincidence indicators in angle measure items and 7 in distance measure items.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results indicate it is liable and effective to use the computerized orthopedics and orthodontics system for prediction.
