Three-dimensional study of the upper airway in different skeletal Class II malocclusion patterns.

CONCLUSIONS:: Upper airway volume and morphology were similar in different skeletal patterns of Class II malocclusion. Actual upper and lower jaw lengths were more closely related to upper airway volume and morphology than the angles that reflected their position relative to the cranial base.
