    Study Notes

    Orthodontic Diagnosis

    • Diagnosis prioritises the patient's chief complaint for treatment success
    • Comprehensive assessment includes extra-oral, intra-oral, radiographic, and cephalometric analyses
    • Three-dimensional evaluation is necessary (anteroposterior, vertical, and transverse dimensions)
    • Soft tissue analysis, especially lip position, is important for assessing skeletal discrepancies

    Extra-oral Assessment

    • Anteroposterior dimension involves evaluating the relationship of the maxilla and mandible using A' and B' points, profile angle, and zero meridian line
    • Class I: Mandible 2-3mm posterior to maxilla, straight profile
    • Class II: Mandible retrusive, convex profile
    • Class III: Maxilla retrusive, concave profile
    • Vertical dimension and Frankfort-mandibular plane angle (FMPA)
      • Increased FMPA indicates increased vertical dimension
      • Reduced FMPA indicates decreased vertical dimension
    • Transverse dimension includes facial midline, interpupillary line, rule of fifths, bird's-eye view and submento-vertical view
    • Soft tissue evaluation assesses lip fullness, nasolabial angle, labiomental angle, lip line, and competency

    Soft Tissue Evaluation

    • Lip prominence is influenced by lip thickness, dental protrusion, and jaw position
    • Excessively protruded lips are prominent and incompetent
    • Nasolabial angle (NLA) should roughly equal to commissure height
    • Normally, NLA is 102 ± 8°

    Clinical versus Cephalometric

    • Clinical assessment is vital because cephalometric norms may not align with aesthetic goals
    • Soft tissue changes are linked to tooth position and not to the skeleton
