ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to determine variability of anteroposterior dental arch relationship in orthodontic patients and type of treatment used. A group of pretreated orthodontic patients were examined clinically for the classification of malocclusion [the anteroposterior relationship] according to Angles classification and type of treatment needed in a group of 1550 patient. The results showed that there was no significant differences in anteroposterior relationship according to gender and there was a decrease in rate of class I, and an increase in class II both divisions and thus an increase in the severity of malocclusion during the last decade and a need for more complicated orthodontic procedures
