Skeletal sagittal malocclusions were classified as class\u00a0I,\u00a0II, or\u00a0III according to the ANB, and vertical growth patterns of the mandible were determined using the Articulare\u2013Gonion\u2013Menton angle.

In our study population, mandibular vertical growth patterns were distributed as 53.5% normodivergent, 43.4% hyperdivergent (vertical), and 3.1% hypodivergent (horizontal). The mean chronological age was 11.6 years, while the mean dental age was 11.7\u00a0years, with an average delta of 0.08 (standard deviation\u202f=\u20091.2) years.
