Table 5. Soft tissue thickness measurements in different vertical skeletal groups.

One-way ANOVA revealed differences between the three vertical groups and showed that there are significant differences in hypodivergent subjects in different landmarks: a) significant differences in hypodivergent vs. hyperdivergent (p-value≤0.05) (Tukey's post hoc test), b) significant differences in normodivergent vs. hypordivergent (p-value≤0.05) (Tukey's post hoc test), c) significant differences in normodivergent vs. hyperdivergent (p-value≤0.05) (Tukey's post hoc test).

GLh-GLs: hard tissue glabella - soft tissue glabella, Nh-Ns: hard tissue nasion - soft tissue nasion, Rhih -Rhis: hard tissue rhinion - soft tissue rhinion, Ssh -Sns: hard tissue subspinale - soft tissue subnasale, U1-LS: maxillary incisor - labrale superius, Inch-Stos: hard tissue incision - soft tissue stomion, L1-Li: mandibular incisor - labrale inferius, Smh-Sms: hard tissue supramentale - soft tissue supramentale, Pgh -Pgs: hard tissue pogonion - soft tissue pogonion, Gnh -Gns: hard tissue gnathion - soft tissue gnathion, Meh -Mes: hard tissue menton - soft tissue menton
