Identifying Relapse from cephs
« on: January 18, 2021, 10:11:08 PM »
Anyone know how to identify relapse from ceph analysis? I just compare my 3 month post-op ceph to my almost 2 year post-op ceph.

It seems my SNA and SNA angles increased, I guess from the post-op braces, and my maxillary length decreased by 5 mm and my mandibular length decreased by 3 mm. Which is the better measurement to determine relapse, not of the bite, but of sagittally jaw position/ length?

If my maxillary length decreased by 5 mm it means my entire upper jaw movement has relapsed lol. But my SNA has increased. How ?
