A cephalometric analysis especially designed for the patient who requires maxillofacial surgery was developed to use landmarks and measurements that can be altered by common surgical procedures. Because measurements are primarily linear, they may be readily applied to prediction overlays and study cast mountings and may serve as a basis for the evaluation of posttreatment stability.
