1: Significance. P value in row indicates significance between groups.

2: Significance P value in column indicates significance at different follow up period in each group.

D1 = distance from angle of mandible to pogonion, D4 = distance from angle of mandible to lateral canthus of eye, D5: distance from tragus to pogonion, D7 = distance from angle of mandible to ala of nose.
