Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adequate occlusal plane (OP) rotation through orthodontic therapy enables satisfying profile improvements for patients who are disturbed by their maxillomandibular imbalance but reluctant to surgery. The study aims to quantify profile improvements that OP rotation could produce in orthodontic treatment and whether the efficacy differs among skeletal types via machine learning.
