After the cephalometric evaluations it is seen that at the end of the functional orthopedic magnetic appliance of Vardimon's system treatment; the development of maxilla was reduced, the mandible was positioned inferiorly and anteriorly, the effective length of mandible was increased due to the increase in ramus height, Angle Class I canine and molar relationships were attained.
