• A larger OP-SN angle predisposes the mandible to clockwise rotation on forward movement; reduction in OP-SN confirms occlusal plane flattening. — Efficacy of anterior intrusion-based vertical control versus conventional sagittal retraction in adolescents with hyperdivergent mandibular retrognathia: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• Headgear and posterior occlusal pads address posterior-teeth vertical dimension but exert little control over anterior tooth height, the key driver of the steep occlusal plane in hyperdivergent patients. — Efficacy of anterior intrusion-based vertical control versus conventional sagittal retraction in adolescents with hyperdivergent mandibular retrognathia: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• The treatment focus for steep occlusal plane in hyperdivergent adolescents should be redirected from posterior-teeth vertical control to the maxillary anterior segment. — Efficacy of anterior intrusion-based vertical control versus conventional sagittal retraction in adolescents with hyperdivergent mandibular retrognathia: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
