Özet

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to observe the harmony between hard and soft tissue alterations on lateral cephalograms of patients with Class III malocclusion following orthodontic treatment. Methods: Fifteen patients (7 male, 8 female; mean age: 21.4±0.49 years) who underwent received Class III non-extraction camouflage treatment with intermaxillary elastics were included in the study. Pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalograms were evaluated for hard and soft tissue changes using NemoStudio NX-Pro software. Student’s t-test, Pearson correlation analyses, and linear regression analyses were performed. Statistical significance was set at p
