Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in cervical spine curvature measured on lateral cephalometric radiograph Change in neck muscle activity measured photogrammetrically Change in head and neck posture measured using surface electromyography (EMG)Timepoint: baseline ( before orthodontic treatment) at 6 months after initiation of treatment at completion of treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation between type/severity of malocclusion (Class II or III) and cervical posture parameters Improvement in forward head posture (craniovertebral angle) post-orthodontic treatment relative to controls Relationship between EMG changes and radiographic posture changesTimepoint: Same as primary: baseline and post-treatment | — |
