ABSTRACT

This study is carried out on initial and final lateral cephalograms of patients characterized with class 1 anterior crowding malocclusion whose four bicuspids are extracted as a requirement of Begg technique therapy. Lateral cephalograms of 28 individuals with similar features are held as a control group for comparison within the same time frame. Conclusively, Ricketts and related cephalometric evaluation indicated significant changes in the dentoalveolar process.
