Quantitative Analysis for Effect of Orthodontic Treatment on Body Posture and Its Correlation With Cervical Posture in Skeletal Class II Malocclusion – A Clinical Study

AIM: To quantitatively evaluate and compare the body posture its correlation with cervical plantar pressure in subjects skeletal class II malocclusion, before after camouflage orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 18 were considered for study subjected to lateral cephalograms analysis Cranio-cervical angles compared treatment using paired T test. A force platform was designed accommodate feet sensors placed at hallux, first metatarsal medial calcaneus regions record loading pressure. The distribution values correlated cranio-cervical angles. RESULTS: There is statistically significant difference (p value <0.05) ANB angle, GoGn/OPT angle between pre post therapy indicating over extension of head spinal column. Post Pearson coefficient indicates that curvature (OPT/CVT angle) has a negative region. However, high statistical significance found all three regions. CONCLUSION: Cervical increased therapy, spine. Plantar reduced recorded hallux region elicited considerable reduction shift from most anterior central
