Introduction: This study aimed to investigate differences in the three-dimensional (3D) upper airway dimensions in Vietnamese participants. Methods: This study included 341 Vietnamese participants grouped based on the vertical growth pattern (ANB angle) (skeletal Class I;
123;
Class II;
124;
Class III;
94). The patients were categorized into subgroups based on the horizontal growth pattern according to the Frankfort mandibular angle (hypodivergent;
35;
normodivergent;
175;
hyperdivergent;
131) to compare the frequency distribution of the three growth patterns in each skeletal class. The airway dimensions of the three skeletal classes were divided into four volumes using 3D virtual software (In VivoDental Software 6.0). The height;
width;
and cross-sectional area (CSA) of each part;
as well as the total volume and minimum CSA;
were measured and analyzed. Results: The airway space was reduced in hyperdivergent Class II individuals;
underscoring an important connection between upper airway dimensions and vertical skeletal patterns;
which suggests that vertical growth patterns contribute to pharyngeal narrowing and subsequent upper airway obstruction. Significant differences (p © 2024 by the authors;
