Background: To achieve a successful result, the orthodontist must use a systematic approach to plan the orthodontic treatment.

The aim of our study was to analyze the relationship between intermaxillary discrepancy (ANPg^), mandibular inclination (SN^GoGn), lip incompetence, and the positioning of the upper and lower incisors (UIPs and LIPs) in a group of orthodontic patients.
