Overview

Cephalometric analysis is the study of the dental and skeletal relationships in the head.[1] It is frequently used by dentists, often orthodontists in particular, as a treatment planning tool.[2]

Two of the more popular methods of analysis used in orthodontology are the Steiner analysis, named after Cecil C. Steiner, and the McNamara analysis, named after James A. McNamara.[3] There are other methods as well, including the Ricketts analysis.[4]

Cephalometric radiographs

Cephalometric analysis depends on cephalometric radiography to study relationships between bony and soft tissue landmarks and can be used to diagnose facial growth abnormalities prior to treatment, in the middle of treatment to evaluate progress or at the conclusion of treatment to ascertain that the goals of treatment have been met.[5]
