Study model and cephalometric x-ray evaluations were done before and after a three-month follow-up. Data was gathered and statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Model overbite at central and lateral incisors was increased in all groups.

Also, cephalometric overbite was non-significantly increased in all groups with a high increase in group-III(3.13\u2009\u00b1\u20091.10). Overjet decreased in all groups, with the greatest reduction observed in group-I(-2.58\u2009\u00b1\u20091.02 and -2.47\u2009\u00b1\u20090.80 in model and cephalometric respectively) and was significantly different from group-II using pairwise analysis. There was a decrease in SNA and ANB in all groups with more significant improvement in groups-I(-1.20\u2009\u00b1\u20090.88,-1.65\u2009\u00b1\u20090.74) and -III(-1.31\u2009\u00b1\u20090.92, -1.62\u2009\u00b1\u20090.75) than group-II(-0.63\u2009\u00b1\u20090.46, -0.90\u2009\u00b1\u20090.43). Moreover, FMA measurements decreased significantly in group-I (-2.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.11). Regarding SNB measurement, there was a non-significant increase in all three groups with the highest increase in group-I(0.49\u2009\u00b1\u20090.48) followed by group-III(0.34\u2009\u00b1\u20090.63).
