ABSTRACT
To compare the mandibular arch length changes during leveling of curve of Spee in extraction and non-extraction cases. Study Design:
Quasi-experimental, interventional.Setting:
Orthodontic department, Karachi Medical and Dental CollegeSubjects:
Forty cases were divided into extraction and non-extraction group. Depth of curve of Spee and arch length were measured on 40 pretreatment and post-treatment plaster models with the help of sharpened Boley gauge. The arch length proved to be significantly different [P<.022] between extraction and non-extraction cases. During leveling of curve of Spee the mandibular arch length in nonextraction cases significantly increased than in extraction cases
