Wits Appraisal Average is Wrong?

henryjdshaw  

Hi,

I've noted that for one of my caucasian female patients the Wits appraisal is telling me she's a skeletal class II despite quite obviously being a CIII. I see that the average Wits value is -2.74mm. This doesn't seem right. In the original papers and more recent papers it varies between -1mm to 1mm for the average.

Can this please be looked into?

Thank you
Henry

Dear doctor. Thank you for your comments. We would like to proceed with the modification of norm values of Wits appraisal according to your opinion, but in the case of Wits appraisal, it is related to WebCeph's automated problem list generation function, so we need a reference related to this. Is there a paper you can refer to about the mean value of the Wits appraisal for the Caucasian race? It would be greatly appreciated if you could share it or send it to admin@assemblecircle.com. Thank you for sending your precious opinion.
