Özet

For both groups, the maxillary base, nasal cavity width and upper intercanine and intermolar distances were increased, and the upper molars tipped buccally. The only statistically significant (P < 0.05) difference between two groups was in inferior movement of posterior nasal spine (PNS) relative to the SN plane (SNPNS). This measurement increased in both groups yet significantly more in the RME group. The results suggest that RME and SRME have similar effects on dentofacial structures both in the transverse, vertical, and sagittal planes.
