Abstract
Introduction: The significance of this cephalometric analysis lies in multiple aspects; the first of which is that cephalometric analysis is crucial in the diagnosis of both skeletal and dental anomalies. Secondly it allows clinicians to evaluate operative changes during, and after the treatment period, not to mention its role in simulating orthognathic surgery through what’s known as ‘Surgical Treatment Objective’ (STO), only one other analysis tailored for orthognathic surgery was done on the Saudi Arabian population has been published yet the approach of the researchers lacked the necessary soft tissue measurements categorized under (Lip Position and Form). Therefore, it is imperative to establish comprehensive assessment COGS standards for the Saudi Arabian population which is in fact the aim of this study.
