Popis: Objective To explore the relationships among pharyngeal airway morphology, craniocervical posture, and anterior teeth position in hyperdivergent skeletal Class Ⅱ female adults and provide a reference for orthodontic clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 104 untreated skeletal Class Ⅱ (ANB ≥ 4.7°) female adults were included and divided into a hyperdivergent group (MP-SN ˃ 37°) (n = 52) and a normodivergent group (29° ≤ MP-SN ≤ 37°) (n = 52) by mandibular plane angle. The pharyngeal airway sagittal size, craniocervical angulation and anterior teeth position of the two groups were measured. Results Compared to the normodivergent group, hyperdivergent subjects exhibited narrower nasopharyngeal, velopharyngeal, and glossopharyngeal airways (P
