2. The maxillary depth was great and the maxilla was located anterior to the anterior cranial base.
3. The length of the maxillary arch was longer than the average, however the anterior width of its arch was narrow and the posterior width was average.
4. Although the mandibular body length was within the normal range, the ramus height was shorter and Gonial angle was more obtuse than the average.
