Differences among the three extraction patterns (Table E-1) were few. Only 3 variables exhibited significance, namely molar correction (P = ~ 0.04), maxillary intercanine width, which exhibited borderline significance (P = 0.045), and anterior segment width (P = 0.014). Figures 4-26 through 4-28 are graphs of the group differences for these 3 variables. Less molar correction (Figure 4-26) occurred in the nonextraction group than in either of the extraction groups. Extraction of 4-4/5-5 resulted in the largest of molar correction of the three groups. The greatest change in maxillary intercanine width (Figure 4-27) was in the 4-4/5-5 extraction group, followed by the nonextraction group. The least amount of change occurred in the 4-4/4-4 extraction group. Figure 4-28 is a graph of the changes in anterior segment width. The least amount of change was in the 4-4/4-4 extraction group, followed by the 4-4/5-5 extraction group, and then the nonextraction group. 111

Differences among the three extraction patterns (Table E-1) were few.<br />

Only 3 variables exhibited significance, namely molar correction (P = ~ 0.04),<br />

maxillary intercanine width, which exhibited borderline significance (P = 0.045),<br />

and anterior segment width (P = 0.014).<br />

these 3 variables. Less molar correction (Figure 4-26) occurred in the<br />

the 4-4/5-5 extraction group, followed by the nonextraction group. The least<br />

amount of change occurred in the 4-4/4-4 extraction group.<br />

amount of change was in the 4-4/4-4 extraction group, followed by the 4-4/5-5<br />

extraction group, and then the nonextraction group.<br />
