cephalometric measurements closely associated with the facial profile esthetics of skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion after treatment

Esthetic degrees of each Class Ⅲ patients’ facial profiles after surgical-orthodontic or camouflage treatment were different,some cephalometric measurements may be correlated with the degree of profile esthetics in skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion.Esthetic degrees of 237 Class Ⅲ patients’ facial profiles after surgical-orthodontic or camouflage treatment were evaluated by 9 orthodontists. We defined the top and bottom 40 patients posttreatment for esthetics as the high-score and low-score groups, respectively,to analyze the differences in 22 between the groups.

Logistic regression analysis was performed for the measurements with significant differences between the groups to determine which is correlated with the profile esthetic degree
