Q

Advantages of Steiner’s analysis?

A
  • SN line: reference line
  • easy to locate
  • takes only 2 landmarks
  • located in the mid sagital plane and moves minimally with head movement
  • no bilateral points—> decreased risk of double images
  • better than the Frankfurt plane at locating the porion and orbitale

Q

Disadvantages of Steiner’s analysis?

A
  • the values selected as “normal’ are a personal judgment (based on Hollywood actresses)
  • no biological corrections of age, sex, and race such as in Rickett’s
  • leaves areas with no analysis
  • holdaway’s relationship is based on an uncertain phenomena of pogonion growth
