Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A

real photoes (after treatment)

Accuracy of computer software in predicting soft tissue profile changes

Intervention Type OTHER

Separate analyses will be performed on the initial and final cephalograms.

* All of the cephalometric analyses will be done via computer software,the linear and angular measurements will be done via the software.
* Through the use of software, the initial cephalogram and the initial photograph will be linked.
* Then, the final values of some angles will be tracted from the post-treatment cephalogram.
* These values will be inserted in the "treatment simulation"section of the software.
* A post-treatment projected image of the patient will be simulated by the software.
* Then the actual post-treatment photograph will be placed on the simulated image in transparent form.
* From the pupil , real horizontal and vertical reference lines will be drawn.
* Then certain measurements will be taken from referance lines to fixed points on the soft tissue to determine the discrepancies between the real and simulated images.
