Abstract: Cephalometric superimposition is used to demonstrate and evaluate growth and treatment outcomes in the dentofacial complex in patients by superimposing a series of lateral radiographs.The structural method raised by Bj?rk and his coworkers is based on the stable reference structures in dentofacial complex.This paper introduces the history,validity and reliability of the cephalometric superimposition and the tips of the structural method, aimming to provide reference to the treatment evaluation and longitudinal growth studies.
