1ANB: angle between A-point (L5), nasion (L2) and B-point (L6).

2SNB: angle between sella (L1), nasion (L2) and B-point (L6).

3SNA: angle between sella (L1), nasion (L2) and A-point (L5).

4Overbite depth indicator (ODI): sum of the angle between the lines from L5 to L6 and from L8 to L10, and the angle between the lines from L3 to L4 and from L17 to L18.

5Anteroposterior dysplasia indicator: sum of the angle between the lines from L3 to L4 and from L2 to L7, the angle between the lines from L2 to L7 and from L5 to L6, and the angle between the lines from L3 to L4 and from L17 to L18.

6Facial height index: ratio of the posterior face height (distance from L1 to L10) to the anterior face height (distance from L2 to L8).

7Frankfurt mandibular angle: angle between the lines from sella (L1) to nasion (L2) and from gonion (L10) to gnathion (L9).

8Modified Wits Appraisal: ((xL12xL11)/|xL12xL11|)||xL12xL11||.
