Skeletal malocclusions were categorized as compensated, decompensated, and a separate surgically treated cohort assessed at 5-year postoperative follow-up. Digital occlusal parameters (total tooth contact (TTC), time of occlusion (TOC), occlusal asymmetry (OAS), anterior and posterior tooth contact (ATC, PTC)) were recorded and masticatory performance was assessed using a standardized two-color bolus analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Non-surgically treated Class II and Class III patients showed significantly reduced TTC, ATC, PTC, and prolonged TOC as well as lower bolus mixing scores compared with controls (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
