Cephalometric analysis

Cephalometric analysis is the clinical application of cephalometry. It is analysis of the dental and skeletal relationships of a human skull.^[1] It is frequently used by dentists, orthodontists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons as a treatment planning tool.^[2] Two of the more popular methods of analysis used in orthodontology are the Steiner analysis (named after Cecil C. Steiner) and the Downs analysis (named after William B. Downs).^[3] There are other methods as well which are listed below.^[4]
