Angle Orthod. 1992 Spring;62(1):35-42; discussion 43-4. doi: 10.1043/0003-3219(1992)062<0035:CIACIM>2.0.CO;2.

Abstract

Different headform types establish different lines of craniofacial growth resulting in anatomic sub-groupings of Classes I, II, and III with characteristic morphologic features. Several key basicranial and facial relationships are involved, with the nasal region particularly significant in group distinctions.
