Hard-tissue landmarks used in lateral cephalometric radiographs: nasion (Na); orbitale (Or); sella (S); porion (Po); A-point (A); B-point (B); menton (Me); gonion (Go). Skeletal angular and linear measurements of lateral cephalograms: ANB = angle that provides information on the ralative positions of the jaws to each other and provides a genaral idea of the anteroposterior discrepancy of the maxillary to the mandibular apical bases. Fh^1 = angle that measures the inclination of the upper incisors with respect to the maxilla. FMA = angle that shows the type of facial growth of the subject. IMPA = angle that measures the inclination of lower incisors with respect to the jaw.
