Modeling the Invisible

Simplifying the orthodontic diagnosis and the treatment plan means proceeding with fundamental concepts, dividing the characteristics of the malocclusion into three components: the skeletal pattern, the face, and the dental arches. Three space planes are necessary to evaluate the harmony of the skeletal pattern. On the vertical plane, we split the face into three sectors, which must be equal in the eumorphic face: chin-subnasal, subnasal-glabella, and glabella-hairline.
