Adherence test to the normal curve was performed. Three groups were compared relative to each of the 14 sleep apnea cephalometry measurements. To evaluate the airways, sleep apnea cephalometry was used, containing 28 points that compose 14 factors. ![]() To measure the spaces, 45 lateral teleradiographs were used and divided into 3 groups per the craniofacial growth pattern, determined by the Tweed cephalometry angular measurements: FMA and Y-axis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal airway spaces variations according to the craniofacial growth pattern, by comparing brachyfacial, mesofacial, and dolichofacial in Angle Class I individuals. ![]() Craniofacial growth pattern has been correlated with variations in size of the upper airway spaces.
