Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of different growth patterns and treatment types on dentoalveolar structures in patients treated with fixed Edgewise mechanics and the extraction of four first premolars. A total of 41 patients with a mean chronological age of 14 years 7 months and skeletal age of 14 years 6 months were included in the study. The type of growth pattern was assessed as mesio- or hyper-divergent, and the treatment type as the use or non-use of headgear. The results were analysed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
