Orthodontists, in which clinical situations is the Bolton's analysis employed?

Answer 1

This analysis is used when we need to evaluate tooth-size discrepancies between the maxillary and mandibular arches.

Clinical Situations:

1) spacing/crowding cases

2)Planning restorations (peg laterals, missing teeth, buildups)

3)Cases needing interproximal reduction

4)Cases with excessive overjet or inadequate overjet
