RESUMEN
Using the Treil 14 points cephalometric model orthodontists can prepare a complete cranio-facial anatomic assessment at three analytic levels: the framework or envelope, the basal bone and the alveolo-dental arcade. The assessment of border-line surgical antero-posterior dysmorphosis can elucidate interesting depictions of asymmetries, their relation to other malformities, and their genesis. Asymmetry arises from over-growth of one side of the face in all three dimensions of space even if, clinically, it often appears that one dimension is predominately affected. The ortho-morphic cases of Angle Class I present a little right excess or "natural" asymmetry. The Class III cases present a severe excess on the right side, while the Class II cases present an excess on the left side comparing with reference sample.
