Summary

This study looks at how the shape of the jaw and dental arches differs among teenagers aged 15 to 18 with three common types of misaligned bites (Class I, II, and III). Researchers in Vietnam used X-rays and 3D scans to measure facial bones, teeth, and soft tissues. The goal is to help orthodontists better understand these differences so they can plan more personalized treatments for adolescents.

Who is studied

The study population consisted of 300 orthodontic patients aged 15-18 years who attended the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam.
