Abstract
The current study's goal is to determine how the W Angle and Wits apprasial interacts with each other for sagittal divergence in order to find more stable and consistent parameter for anterior-posterior cephalometric analysis. 500 participants (250 from the eastern and 250 from the western UP population) had lateral cephalograms taken, which were then traced for W Angle and Wits sagittal discrepancy criteria. This study showed that the more evenly distributed metric for determining anterior-posterior sagittal divergence is W angle. Both the measurements included in the study have statistically significant correlations with one another, it is advisable to investigate and correlate more metrics with clinical data rather than relying solely on one
