Abstract: This paper describes a method of cephalometric analysis which is currently used by the author in the evaluation and treatment planning of orthodontic and orthognathic surgery patients. In the analysis of a single film, the positions of the maxilla and mandible are related to cranial structures and to each other. Criteria for evaluation of the anteroposterior and vertical positions of the upper and lower incisors are provided, as is the documentation of the standards for each of the measures. In addition, the analysis of serial films is considered and a step-by-step outline of the cephalometric procedure is presented.
