[Architectural cephalometric analysis of orthodontics]

The cephalometric architectural analysis method, that the authors present, has primarily an orthodontic aim. As any architectural analysis, it is mainly visual and does not comprise practically any measurement. It is based on the principle that the cranio-facial pattern is built according to the trigeminal nerves axes. This analysis also answers to the concept of arch segmentation, differentiating the gripping organ from the chewing organ.
