The materials of this study were obtained from the individuals at the beginning and at the end of treatment and controls. Nineteen of individuals were treatment group with skeletal and dental open-bite characteristics (13 girls, 6 boys). Fifteen of 34 individuals were nontreatment control group with skeletal and dental open-bite characteristics (7 girls, 8 boys).
