This is a first of a kind attempt at a comprehensive three-dimensional orthodontic analysis
based on Cone Beam CT data. It includes elements that are based in traditional orthodontic analyses
which draws upon existing knowledge base, and it also includes novel approaches to the examination
of volumetric 3-D perspective. The goal of this analysis is to extract pertinent details from the image
volume and provide the orthodontist with clinical applications of this information. The orthodontist
will then be able to better assess the patientûs malocclusion condition and develop enhanced diagnosis
and treatment approaches.
