Which analysis measures tooth size discrepancy by comparing upper anteriors to lower anteriors?

Bolton analysis
Moyers analysis
Steiner analysis
Tweed analysis

The correct answer is: Bolton analysis

Bolton analysis is the only choice that specifically compares upper anteriors (teeth in the maxillary arch) to lower anteriors (teeth in the mandibular arch). Moyers analysis compares the combined width of upper and lower teeth to tooth size standards, rather than comparing specific teeth to each other. Steiner analysis measures the relationship of the maxilla to the facial structures, such as the cranial base and jaw. Tweed analysis evaluates the position of the teeth in relation to the facial profile, rather than specifically comparing tooth size. Therefore, A is the only option that accurately measures tooth size discrepancy by comparing specific upper and lower anterior teeth.
