Table 2.

Post-functional cephalometric analysis

Normal values Patient values Inference
SNA (Sella–Nasion–A point angle) 82±2° 82° Normally placed maxilla
SNB (Sella–Nasion–B point angle) 80±2° 79.5° Backwardly placed mandible
ANB (A point–Nasion–B point angle) 2.5° Class II skeletal pattern
Effective maxillary length 92.1±4.1mm 95 mm Normal for age
Effective mandibular length 114.4±4.3mm 117 mm Normal for age
For 95 mm maxilla, the mandible should be 122–125 mm, according to McNamara’s growth prediction. Hence, mandibular length is short by 8 mm for that maxilla.
FMA (Frankfort-mandibular plane angle) 17°–28° 23° Average growth pattern
SN-GoGn (Sella-Nasion to Gonion-Gnathion angle) 32° 33° Average growth pattern
Y-axis 53°–66° 65.9° Average growth pattern
U1–SN (Upper incisor-Sella-Nasion angle) 102° 114° Proclined upper incisors
U1–NA (Upper incisor-Nasion-Point A angle)
Linear 4 mm 6.7 mm Forwardly placed upper incisors
Degree 22° 25.7° Proclined upper incisors
L1–NB (Lower incisor-Nasion-Point B angle)
Linear 4 mm 8.3 mm Forwardly placed lower incisors
Degree 25° 35.6° Proclined lower incisors
L1–A-Pog (Lower incisor to Point A-Pogonion angle) 2 mm 5.9 mm Normally placed lower incisors
U1–L1 (Upper incisor-Lower incisor angle) 135° 116° Bidental proclination
IMPA (Incisor mandibular plane angle) 90° 105.8° Proclined lower incisor
Cant of occlusion 1.5°–14° Normal
Nasolabial angle 90° –110° 100° Normal
Lip strain 2 mm Lip strain of 2 mm
