Table 1.

Different Angular and linear measurements used

Skeletal
 1. Point A-N perp.   Distance from point A to Nasion perpendicular line
 2. Pog-N perp.   Distance from Pog to the Nasion perpendicular line
 3. F.MPA   The angle between the Frankfort plane and mandibular plane
 4. Facial axis angle (F.A.A)   Angle between the basion-nasion plane and foramen rotundum- Gnathion plane
 5. M.F.L   Effective midfacial length: distance from condylion to point A
 6. Mand.L   Effective mandibular length: distance from condylion to Gnathion
 7. L.F.H   Lower facial height: distance from ANS to Menton
Dental
 1. Ui- point   A From labial surface of the upper incisor to point A
 2. Li- A-Pog   From the edge of the lower incisor to a line from point A to Pog
 3. Li- MP.A   Angle formed between the long axis of lower incisor and mandibular plane
 4. Ui- Pp   From the edge of the upper incisor to the palatal plane
 5.Um- Pp   From the mesial cusp of the upper first molar to the palatal plane
 6. Li- Mp   From the edge of the lower incisor to the mandibular plane
 7. Lm- Mp   From the mesial cusp of the lower first molar to the mandibular plane
Soft tissue
