High-Yield Explanation
Moyer’s analysis
This mixed dentition analysis utilises Moyer’s prediction tables. Prediction is based on the premise that there is a reasonably good correlation between the size of erupted permanent incisors and the unerupted canines and premolars.
It is a non-radiographic method. The main advantage of non-radiographic prediction methods is that they can be performed by measuring the erupted mandibular incisor(s) without the need of additional measurements from radiographs.
