OBJECTIVES To compare the amounts of anatomical overjet measured from facial axis (FA) points with the amounts of bracket overjet measured from bracket slot center (BSC) points. MATERIALS AND METHODS The samples consisted of 27 subjects with normal occlusion whose models were fabricated with a three-dimensional (3D) scanner and the 3Txer program (Orapix Co Ltd, Seoul, Korea). 3D virtual brack...

Introduction: An important component of many orthodontic assessments is an evaluation of the horizontal relationship of the teeth and jaws. In this study, an attempt was made to assess the gender differences in the maxillary and mandibular morphology in different overjet groups. This is useful in analysis of malocclusion and prediction of treatment success. Materials and methods: Lateral cephal...

BACKGROUND The correlations between the sagittal jaw position and the cranio-cervical inclination are described in literature. Only few studies focus on the sagittal jaw position and the body posture using valid and objective orthopaedic examination methods. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that patients with malocclusions reveal significant differences in body posture compared ...

Introduction: Malocclusion is regarded as any deviation from the normal occlusion and has an adverse impact on psychological, social physical wellbeing of individual. There are different malocclusion traits that include anterior crowding, spacing, increased overjet, open bite overbite. These invariably result in bullying, mocking sometimes leads to great torment The aim this study was determine...

The aim of this retrospective, cross-sectional study was to assess whether mild and severe Class II division 1 subjects have craniofacial and upper airway characteristics, which relate to the severity of Class II as judged by overjet or ANB angle. The sample consisted of pre-treatment lateral cephalograms and dental casts of 131 males and 115 females (mean age 10.4 ± 1.6). Inclusion criteria we...
