Definition of cephalometric measurements analyzed.
| Measurement | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nasolabial Angle (°) | Angle between the nasal base and upper lip, analyzing the protrusion of the upper lip in relation to the nasal base. |
| Mentolabial Angle (°) | Angle between the lower lip and anterior mentum projection, analyzing the protrusion of the lower lip in relation to the mentum. |
| Interlabial Angle (°) | Angle between the upper and lower lips, determining the degree of lip protrusion. |
| Facial Convexity Angle (°) | Supplement of the angle between the intersection of glabella-subnasal and subnasal-soft tissue pogonion lines, determining the degree of facial profile convexity. |
| Total Facial Convexity Angle (°) | Angle between the intersection of glabella-nose tip and nose tip-soft tissue pogonion lines, determining the degree of facial profile convexity involving the nasal projection. |
| Lower Face Angle (°) | Angle between the subnasal-soft tissue gnathion and soft tissue gnathion-cervical lines, analyzing the anterior projection of the mentum. |
| MAFH/LAFH Proportion | Analyzes the proportion between glabella-subnasal and subnasal-soft tissue mentum distances. |
| Lower Face Vertical Proportion | Proportion between subnasal-stomion and stomion-soft tissue mentum distances. |
| H.NB Angle (°) | Angle between intersection of NB and H lines, line formed by the union of soft tissue pogonion (Pg’) and the most prominent point in the upper lip (Ls). |
| Ricketts E Line (mm) | Determined by the union of soft tissue pogonion (Pg’) and nasal projection (En), describing the position of the lower lip 2 mm behind the E line as ideal. |
