Percentage of patients with changes greater than 2mm or less than −2mm between 1-year and 3-year follow-up. Patients with displacements between –2 and 2 mm are not represented. Note that positive or negative values of displacements represent different directional movements depending on the specific region of interest. Increase = anterior displacement for anterior surface of the chin and anterior surface of the condyles but posterior direction for posterior surface of the ramus and condyles; inferior displacement of the inferior border of the chin. Decrease = anterior displacement of posterior surface of the ramus and condyles; posterior direction in anterior surface of the chin and anterior surface of the condyles; superior displacement of the inferior border of the mandible.
