Abstract

The research was conducted on profile telerendgenograms of 49 orthodontic patients with malocclusions of II/l class. All of the examined patients had distal profiles, with upper jaws in the position of retroinclination (39. 13%), anteinclination (34. 78%) and normoinclination (26. 09%). Almost 3/4 of the patients (73. 91%) were characterized by convex profiles, 13. 40% by concave and 13. 04% by flat facial soft tissue profiles. In the patients of both sexes, the decreased soft tissue thickness in the areas of subnasale, upper-lip sulcus and upper lip considerably compensates for the skeletal protrusion of these parts and for the protrusion of upper incisors. The increased thickness of the lower lip and lower-lip sulcus moderates the existing dysgnathia and skeletal profile convexity in girls, while the pronounced decrease of the tissue thickness in the area of menton aggravates the distal profile of the face in boys.
