Date: 10-14 February 2012. Source: Australian Society of Orthodontists’ 23rd Congress 2012, Perth, Australia. Abstract: The assessment of facial profile, bite and underlying dental-skeletal discrepancies are critical in the diagnosis and treatment planning of malocclusions. In addition to the clinical evaluation, other records such as facial photography, dental impressions and cephalometry are routinely taken to…
