Craniofacial morphology in women with Class I occlusion and severe maxillary anterior crowding

Women with Class I occlusion and severe MxAC exhibited a significantly wider angle and shorter length in the cranial base, a smaller sagittal maxillary base, and a hyperdivergent skeletal pattern. These skeletal and dental characteristics and cranial base dysmorphology may be helpful as potential indicators for orthodontic treatment with extractions.
