Therefore, the aim of this investigation is a development of digital program for evaluation of dental arches’ width. There were 114 models with normal occlusion exanimated. The computer program for determining dental arches width by Pont developed based on the investigated data. The software product “OZDR-RKPFZ.exe” contributes fast determination dental arch width based on the relationship with incisors widths of the patient and moreover, allows to predict the extraction and non-extraction treatment plan. Application of the digital methods improves the accuracy and quickness of the diagnostics and treatment planning in orthodontics.
