MODEL ANALYSIS
Model analysis involves the study of the
maxillary & mandibular dental arches in all the
three planes of space (sagittal, vertical &
transverse planes) which is a valuable tool in
orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
DEFINITION
Carey’s Analysis
Asley–Howe Analysis
TOOTH SIZE-ARCH Pont’s Analysis.
WIDTH
DISCREPANCY Linder Harth Analysis
Bolton’s Analysis
Difference between the basal bone and the tooth
material i.e. in determining the extent of
CAREY’S Discrepancy.
ANALYSIS Performed on lower cast
Arch length anterior to 1st premolar is
measured using a soft brass wire.
Wire is placed contacting the mesial
surface of 1st molar of one side - passed
over the buccal cusps of the premolars -
continued on opposite side in the same way
DETERMINATION up to the mesial surface of opposite 1st
OF molar.
ARCH LENGTH Proclined Anteriors – wire is passed along
cingulum of anterior teeth.
Retroclined Anteriors – wire is passed
labial to the teeth.
Well Aligned Anteriors – wire is passed
over incisal edge of anteriors
DETERMINATION Sum of mesio distal width of teeth anterior to
OF 1 molars (2nd premolars – 2nd premolars)
TOOTH MATERIAL
Difference between Arch length & Tooth
material :
DETERMINATION OF 0 – 2.5 mm :- min. tooth material excess –
proximal stripping can be considered ( non
DISCREPANCY extraction approach)
2.5 – 5 mm :- need to extract 2nd premolars
> 5 mm :- need to extract 1st premolars
Difference between the basal bone and the
ARCH tooth material i.e. in determining the extent
of Discrepancy.
PERIMETER Same as Carey’s analysis.
ANALYSIS Analysis is done in maxillary cast.
Ashley Howe considered tooth crowding to be
due to deficiency in arch width rather than
arch length.
ASHLEY
HOWE’S
ANALYSIS
The mesio distal width of all the teeth mesial
to the 2nd molars is measured and the values
are summed up. This value is called Total
Tooth material (TTM).
Determination
of total tooth
material.
Above the maxillary first bicuspids and below
of mandibular first bicuspids.
The canine fossa is found distal to the canine
eminence.
Determination The measurement of the width from canine
of Premolar fossa of one side to the canine fossa of other.
Basal Arch
Width
(P.M.B.A.W)
Premolar diameter (PMD) is the arch width measured at
the top of the buccal cusps of the first premolars
Determination of
Premolar
diameter.
(P.M.D)
Determination of the percentage of arch length
to the tooth material.
B.A.L = %
TTM
The percentage relationship is more important
than the actual measurement.
INFERENCE
Pont suggested that the ratio of combined
incisor to arch width ( as measured from the
center of the occlusal surface of the teeth)
was ideally 0.8 in the bicuspid area and 0.64
in the first molar area.
Pont’s analysis helps in,
PONT’S a) Determining whether dental arch is narrow
or is normal.
ANALYSIS b) Determining the need for lateral arch
expansion.
c) Determining how much expansion is
possible at the premolar and molar
regions.
Determination of sum of Determination of measured Determination of measured
incisors (S.I) premolar value (M.P.V) molar value (M.M.V)
Determination of calculated Determination of calculated
premolar value (C.P.V) molar value (C.M.V)
Measured value is less than the calculated
value - arch is narrow for the sum incisors
width - needs expansion.
INFERENCE Measured value is greater than the calculated
value - arch is wider - no scope for the
expansion.
Similar to Pont-Index
He made a variation in the formula to
determine the calculated premolar and
molar value

BOLTON It considers the ratio of tooth material of
maxillary arch to mandibular arch.
ANALYSIS
Sum of mandibular 12.
Sum of maxillary 12.
Sum of mandibular 6.
Sum of maxillary 6.
MEASUREMENTS
Overall Ratio.
Anterior Ratio.
Overall Ratio = Sum of mandibular 12 X 100
Sum of maxillary 12

2. If ratio is more than 91.3%, Mandibular
tooth material excess.

Amount of
Mandibular - Maxillary 12 X 91.3
mandibular

Anterior Ratio = Sum of mandibular 6 X 100
Sum of maxillary 6
Determination 1) If ratio is less than 77.2%, maxillary
Of Anterior anterior excess.
Ratio 2) If ratio is more than 77.2%, Mandibular
anterior excess.
AIM : To compare the space available
for unerupted permanent canine &
premolars with the space needed.
The difference gives us the amount
MIXED - of crowding or spacing that can be
DENTITION expected.
ANALYSIS 3 basic approaches
i. Measurement of teeth on radiograph
ii. Estimation from proportionality tables.
iii. A combined approach of collecting data
from radiographs & prediction tables.
The size of unerupted permanent cuspids &
MOYERS premolars are predicted from the knowledge
MIXED of sizes of erupted permanent teeth.
DENTITION The mesio-distal width of 4 lower incisors are
ANALYSIS measured & summed up.
The space available for permanent cuspids &
premolars is determined by measuring the
distance between lateral incisor & mesial
surface of permanent 1st molar.
PROCEDURE The predicted tooth size of permanent
cuspids & premolars is compared with the
arch length available to determine the
discrepancy.

widths of unerupted canines & premolars of
