The "Wits" appraisal is intended as a diagnostic aid to be used in conjunction with other analyses. Whereas the popularly used ANB angular reading is a simple method of measuring degree of jaw disharmony, there are many instances in which this reading is suspect. The "Wits" appraisal permits easy identification of these shortcomings and substitutes a reasonably reliable means of measuring extent of anteroposterior jaw disharmony.
“Wits”评估旨在作为一种诊断辅助工具,与其他分析方法结合使用。虽然常用的ANB角测量是一种测量颌骨不协调程度的简单方法,但在很多情况下,这种测量结果是不可靠的。“Wits”评估能够轻松识别这些缺点,并提供一种相对可靠的测量前后颌骨不协调程度的方法。
