III.Both articular and Gonial angle are significantly larger with vertical growth pattern. IV.The mandible is significantly shorter. V.The upper and total anterior facial height are highly significantly shorter. VI.The lower anterior facial height is significantly longer. VII.All the upper, lower and total posterior facial height are shorter. VIII.The inter incisal angle is highly significantly smaller. IX.Decrease 1-PP angle with protruded upper incisors.
