Measurement Definition
SN-MxOP Angle formed by SN and the maxillary occlusal plane (plane drawn through the mesiobuccal cusp tip of the maxillary molar to the upper central incisor tip)
SN-MnOP Angle formed by SN and the mandibular occlusal plane (plane drawn through the mesiobuccal cusp tip of the mandibular molar to the lower central incisor tip)
MP-MnOP Angle formed by mandibular plane (inferior gonion to menton) and the mandibular occlusal plane
SN-PP Angle formed by SN to palatal plane (ANS to PNS)
SN-MP Angle formed by SN to mandibular plane (inferior gonion to menton)
SN-GoGn Angle formed by SN and the plane drawn through the points inferior gonion and gnathion
U1-PP The millimetric distance between U1 tip and the palatal plane (ANS to PNS)
L1-GoGn The millimetric distance between L1 tip and the plane drawn through inferior gonion-gnathion
U6-PP The millimetric distance between the mesiobuccal cusp tip of the maxillary molar and the palatal plane (ANS to PNS)
L6-GoGn The millimetric distance between the mesiobuccal cusp tip of the mandibular molar and the plane drawn through inferior gonion-gnathion
LAFH The millimetric distance between ANS and menton
OB The vertical millimetric distance from U1 tip to L1 tip
