Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Masticatory movements during mastication

    A jaw tracking device was positioned on subjects face, who were asked to chew an artificial material in their habitual way. Tracings of jaw lateral movements during mastication were analyzed to classify in which side each chewing stroke was taken. If 80 percent or more chewing cycles were classified as left or right, the subjects were considered as unilateral chewer.

    2 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Bite force and occlusal contact area

    2 hours

Study Arms (3)

Brachyfacial

Subjects with a horizontal facial growth pattern

Mesofacial

Subjects with a balanced facial growth pattern

Dolichofacial

Subjects with a vertical facial growth pattern
