Methods of cephalometric superimposition - A review
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
In 1931, Broadbent(7,8) and Hofrath(12) introduced the technique of radiographic cephalometry. Since then, clinicians and researchers have adopted and routinely used this valuable tool on orthodontic patients in order to analyse underlying dentofacial relationships. Cephalometrics Superimposition is used to gain a better understanding of the facial changes that accompany growth and/or orthodontic treatment.
