To obtain more specific information regarding subjects with severe
anterior malocclusions, a separate analysis was performed on
subgroups with extreme overbite and overjet values
Multiple linear regression analyses showed that
the facial soft tissue measurements could not
accurately predict the severity of the
malocclusion in most subgroups.
