- Have skills and well-founded understanding of the importance of the natural position of the head, the aesthetic evaluation of the face and the smile and of the images as auxiliary diagnostic elements for the formulation of the orthodontic diagnosis.
- Know the particularities of the indicator of the condylar position of the cephalometric conversion to the centric relation and the alarm signals of the strutural progeny.
- Know how to apply cephalometric computer programs in planning an orthodontic treatment.
