Definition |
Sagittal parameters | |
SNA, ° | Sella-nasion-A point angle |
SNB, ° | Sella-nasion-B point angle |
ANB, ° | A point-nasion-B point angle |
VRP-Pog, mm | Perpendicular distance of pogonion to the vertical reference plane (VRP) |
OJ, mm | Overjet, parallel distance between the incisal edges of U1 and L1 to the horizontal reference plane (HRP) |
Vertical parameters | |
SN-GoMe, ° | Mandibular plane angle, the angle between sella-nasion line and gonion-menton line |
AFH, mm | Anterior facial height, linear distance between nasion and menton |
OB, mm | Overbite, parallel distance between the incisal edges of U1 and L1 to the VRP |
Tooth movement | |
U6-PP, mm | Perpendicular distance of the mesial cusptip of U6 to the palatal plane (PP) |
U1-PP, mmb | Perpendicular distance of U1 incisal edge to the PP |
L6-MP, mm | Perpendicular distance of the mesial cusptip of L6 to the mandibular plane (MP) |
L1-MP, mmb | Perpendicular distance of L1 incisal edge to the MP |
U1 and L1 indicate the maxillary and mandibular central incisor, respectively; U6 and L6, the maxillary and mandibular first molar, respectively.
The most anterior tooth was used for the measurement.
