Study Notes
Wits Appraisal of Jaw Disharmony
- The Wits appraisal is a method used to measure the severity of anteroposterior jaw dysplasia.
- The method involves drawing perpendicular lines from two points:
- Point A: Located on the maxilla (upper jawbone)
- Point B: Located on the mandible (lower jawbone)
- These perpendicular lines are drawn onto the occlusal plane.
Measure the severity of anteroposterior jaw dysplasia using the Wits appraisal method, which involves drawing perpendicular lines from specific points on the maxilla and mandible.
