Moyers analysis uses 4 lower permanent incisors to predict the amount of crowding (or spacing) when 1st , 2nd premolars and canines erupt. In order to do this, the patient must have all 4 lower permanent incisors and all 1st permanent molars. Use boley gauge for measurement. It is a very lengthy process:
Step1: Determine space available (for mand arch)
a. measure distance between distal of #23 and distal of # 26.
b. measure distance between mesial of #19 and distal of #23 (left buccal segment)
c. measure distance between mesial of #30 and distal of #26 (right bucal segment)
d. a+b+c = space available
Step 2: Determine teeth size (for mand arch)
a. measure mesiodistal witdh of #23,24,25,26 and add them together
b. Use Moyers chart to get the total teeth size for the unerupted mandibular 1st,2nd premolars and canine (this is just an estimate, but it is fairly accurate).
c. a + 2xb (2x b/c there are both right and left buccal segments) = total mand teeth size
Step 3: space analysis
Space avail (step 1d) mand teeth size (step 2c) = a negative # = space deficiency
Space avail (step 1d) mand teeth size (step 2c) = a positive # = excess space
Repeat above 3 steps for max arch.
