Orthodontic records are an essential supplement to history and clinical diagnosis for the formulation of a comprehensive treatment plan. Cephalograms are one among these records. From cephalometric analysis one can check the position, size of jaws and their relation with each other. Also it these give information regarding proclination, retroclination of teeth and growth pattern of patient. Cephalograms are also used to evaluate treatment results by comparing pre and post treatment cephalometric values of patient. As malocclusion may be skeletal of dental in origin. For appropriate treatment one should aware about the actual problem of patient which may be related to discrepancy in jaws or dentition in both the arches. Cephalometric analyses help in diagnosing which part of face is at fault and need correction. Thus cephalograms are useful in orthodontics as providing information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
