Fig. 2From: Maxillofacial morphological factors related to acceleration of maxillary growth attributed to facial mask treatment: a structural superimposition studySuperimposed graphic vector representations of maxillary molars in the FM and pseudo-III groups. Solid line: FM group; broken line: pseudo-III group. Vector A: maxillary skeletal growth component; vector B: maxillary dental component. The functional occlusal plane, a line drawn through the occlusal surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular first molars and first and second deciduous molars, of the T2 cephalogram was used as the x-axis for the sagittal directionBack to article page
