Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to investigate the negative effects of cervical pull headgear and to compare the differences between the two groups of growers-vertical grower and horizontal grower group-which are classified by the posterior-anterior facial height ratio. Initial and final lateral cephalograms were taken for 26 patients including 15 vertical growers and 11 horizontal growers ; also, 3 angular measurements and 4 linear measurements were evaluated. The following results were found. 1. The palatal plane was tipped anteroinferiorly in the vertical grower group. 2. The posterior facial height/anterior facial height ratio was increased in the horizontal grower group. 3. The Mandibular plane angle remained stable on both groups. 4. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the amount of maxillary molar extrusion.
