Abstract
ABSTRACT
 Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the craniocervical posture in adolescents with different malocclusions using a practical photographic posture analysis method. 
 
 Methods: Thirty-two adolescents (10-15 years) were recruited. The subjects were divided into three groups according to Angle Classification as Angle Class I (10 subjects), Angle Class II (12 subjects) and Angle Class III (10 subjects). Craniocervical postural assessments were conducted using a ‘photographic posture analysis’ method based on three substantial postural angles (sagittal head angle, cervical angle and shoulder angle).
 
 Results: No statistically significant differences were detected between three groups (p>0.05), however, sagittal head and shoulder angles were signifacantly lower in the Class II and III groups when compared to Class I. 
 
 Conclusion: According to our results, by using the photographic method, no difference was detected in craniocervical posture in adolescents with different malocclusions.
