Abstract:The soft tissue paradigm shift is the current trend in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study's aim was to assess the correlation of newly derived photographic Frankfort horizontal planesubnasale to soft tissue pogonion (FSA) angle with other established soft tissue cephalometric angles, such as the Z angle and the Holdaway (H) angle, for estimating facial profile convexity in subjects with all classes of sagittal malocclusions.
Materials and methodsThis prospective study included a sample of… Show more
