Methodology: 40 lateral cephalograms were obtained for the study. The samples were screened from the records of the patient who visited the Orthodontic Department of Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals. Forty pre-treatment Cephalometric radiographs were selected based on ANB, Wits appraisal, and beta angle confirming skeletal Class II.
