Do Steiner or Harvold Cephalometric Analyses Better Correlate with Clinical Impression in Orthognathic Surgery Patients?

Cephalometric analyses are routinely used to aid diagnosis, plan treatment, and assess outcomes in patients with dentofacial deformities.1 Steiner analysis provides angular measurements for maxilla (SNA: sella-nasion-A point) and mandible (SNB: sella-nasion-B point). Harvold analysis is less commonly used and consists of linear measurements for maxilla (MXU: condylion to anterior nasal spine) and mandible (MDU: condylion to gnathion). Few data exist comparing these analyses with clinical diagnosis and operative management.
