Lateral cephalogram was taken twice, once at the baseline (T1) before the commencement of the treatment and once following termination of fixed functional treatment (T2). Eleven measurements representing the vertical and the sagittal craniofacial proportions, and the head posture, were taken into account. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. The variations between before and after treatment measurements were collated using paired\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test.\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n No significant differences were noticed in the angle linking the horizontal lines of the head and the superior crest of the spinal column before and after the treatment, with\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.73. The cervical curvature angle also failed to show any significant difference with\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.14.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Fixed functional therapy with
