Standard ages: CHILD
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Observational model: OTHER
Time perspective: RETROSPECTIVE
Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: males patients from 8 - 16 years

Brief summary: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the difference between the maturation stages between different skeletal growth patterns

Detailed description: comparing the maturation of different vertical and horizontal growth patterns using CVMI

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Only male patients between 8-16 years old with clear sharp cephalometric radiograph, the radiographs which have all the cervical vertebrae will be included in this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous orthodontic treatment.

  * Radiographs of poor quality.
  * Any hereditary diseases or syndromes such as Down's syndrome or cleidocranial dysostosis.
  * Any disease, trauma or fracture of the jaw that might have affected the normal growth of permanent dentition.

Primary outcomes:
measure: To evaluate the difference between the maturation stages (measured by CVMI index on lateral cephalograms) between different skeletal growth patterns
timeFrame: 8-16 years
Secondary outcomes:
measure: to detect whether there were differences in the onsets of the pre-pubertal, pubertal and post-pubertal stages between the various antero-posterior and vertical skeletal patterns
timeFrame: 8-16 years
Other outcomes:
