Abstract

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment of class II division 1 malocclusion by extracting the maxillary first premolar causes vertical dimensional change is still a matter of debate. The purpose of this research was to determine the vertical changes of the lower anterior facial height and maxillary incisor vertical dimensions in class II division 1 malocclusion after orthodontic treatment with Edgewise technique. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on the cephalometry of 24 patients before and after orthodontic treatment with inclusion criteria as follows: Angle Class II division 1  malocclusion, aged 18-30 years old. Measurements were taken for the lower anterior facial height (ANS - Me) and maxillary incisor vertical dimensions by performing an Upper Anterior Dental Height (UADH). Data analysis used was the Wilcoxon test for unpaired data. Results: The result of p-value = 0.195 > 0.05 for lower anterior face height showed no significant difference; and p-value = 0.878 > 0.05 for UADH also showed no significant difference. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment for class II division 1 malocclusion with the removal of two premolars does not change the lower anterior facial height and maxillary incisor vertical dimensions.
