Steiner Analysis
The Steiner analysis uses the following markers:
S N A Isa Is Ii Iil Iia B Pog Gn Go OLp OLa MS Ls Li PGs : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Sella turcica Nasion Downs A-point ; Subspinale Incisor superior apex (upper incisor root) Incisor superior (upper incisor tip) Incisor inferior (lower incisor tip) Incisor inferior labial outline Incisor inferior apex (lower incisor root) Downs B-point ; Supramentale Pogonion Gnathion Gonion Occlusal Line, posterior point Occlusal Line, anterior point Steiners S-point (columnella) Labrale superior (upper lip) Labrale inferior (lower lip) Soft tissue Pogonion

Standard lines

NA

NB

In the Steiner analysis, the standard lines NSL, OL, ML, and SL are defined, as well as the following lines:
NA NB : : Nasion-A Line Nasion-B Line A line defined by the markers <A> and <N>. A line defined by the markers <B> and <N>.

In the Steiner analysis, it is required to place both the OLp and OLa markers (Occlusal Line, posterior and anterior points) so that OL will go through the region of the overlapping cusps of the first premolars and first molars. The ML line is defined by the markers Go and Gn.
