  1. *Statistically significant difference between the groups (P <0.05)
  2. **Statistically significant difference between the groups (P <0.01)
  3. Correlations and ratios of the anteroposterior and vertical changes between the hard and soft were examined. Pearson correlation analysis was done. Ratio (R 2) means amount of change in the soft tissue/amount of change in the hard tissue. Positive (+) value, the change with the same direction; negative (−) value, the opposite direction
