Introduction: Dental arch width and facial form are vital aspects in deciding the outcome of orthodontic treatment. Facial morphology is the result of each person's genotype and phenotypic expression. The vertical skeletal relationship is regularly defined by the Frankfurt mandibular plane angle (FMA). A “high-angle” (hyperdivergent) pattern, where the angle is 30° or more, and “low-angle” (hypodivergent) where the angle is 20° or less. The growth and development of the craniofacial complex is affected by the growth of nasal cavities, nasopharyngeal space as well as oropharyngeal space. Objective: Comparison and relationship of upper airway width and maxillary intermolar width (IMW) in hypodivergent and hyperdivergent skeletal Class II subjects. Materials and methods: Study casts and lateral cephalograms of 50 skeletal class II patients divided into 2 groups hypodivergent and hyperdivergent, 25 subjects in each group based on FMA, having no past history of an orthodontic procedure or airway-related surgical procedure were involved. Measurement of upper airway space was recorded on the cephalograms as described by McNamara Jr. Measurement of maxillary IMW was taken on the study casts with the help of a digital vernier caliper. Results: A significant difference was found between IMW and upper airway width in the hyperdivergent and hypodivergent groups. A negative correlation was found between FMA and IMW in both the hypodivergent and hyperdivergent groups. A positive correlation was detected between FMA and upper airway width in the hypodivergent group. There was a weak negative correlation found between upper airway width and IMW. Conclusion: A relationship exists between the maxillary arch dimension and upper airway width with vertical facial morphology. Hyperdivergent growth had a constricted airway and IMW than hypodivergent growth.
