In this study, the effect of Begg technique therapy was investigated in cases with excess overbite. The sample consisted of 20 cephalometric films of 10 individuals who passed their active growth period. 20 parameters were measured on every lateral cephalometric film. Differences according to treatment were compared by paired t - test. As a result, the elimination of overbite seemed to be related to dentoalveolar factors.
