The records were analysed before treatment (T1) and after the orthopaedic phase (T2), with an interval period of about 1.3 \u00b1 0.5 years. The CG consisted of 16 untreated subjects with Class III dentoskeletal malocclusion (mean age of 8.3 \u00b1 1.4 years). The statistical comparisons among the three groups were performed with ANOVA with Tukey\u2019s post hoc tests.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Both G1 and G2, compared with CG, presented significant improvements in the sagittal skeletal relationships (ANB +2.5\u00b0 and +2.5\u00b0, Wits +4.2\u00b0 and +3.0\u00b0, respectively). G1 exhibited a significant more favourable control of vertical skeletal relationships when compared to G2 (Palatal Pl.\u2013Mandibular Pl. \u22122.0\u00b0) that were associated with a statistically significant reduction of the gonial angle (ArGoMe \u22121.7\u00b0).
