[Cephalometric evaluation of the effects of pendulum appliance on various vertical growth patterns].

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the pendulum appliance in treating dental Class II patients with various vertical growth patterns.

Methods: The samples (n = 30) were divided into three groups equally based on their FMA. Pretreatment and post-treatment cephalometric radiographs were taken to measure the changes.
