Abstract
Different levels of CBCT expertise impacted the assessment accuracy. The participating orthodontists showed excellent consistency among themselves; however, poor agreement between their CBCT assessments compared with nasopharyngoscopy demonstrated that this sample of clinical orthodontists had poor diagnostic accuracy. Together, these findings suggest that orthodontists may make consistent and systematic errors in this type of evaluations.
