LIMITATIONS
Ideally untreated Class II subjects should have been included in the present study as control. Although closely matched groups were included in the study, findings of the present study should be considered with caution, due to the short term observation period. Further studies with larger sample composition and long term follow-up are recommended to validate the findings. Lateral cephalograms have inherent limitations in terms of two dimensional (2D) evaluation of hard and soft tissues. Future studies using 3D technologies, such as color mapping and cone beam computed tomography, are strongly recommended.
