Popis: Abstract The objective of this study was to compare the aging changes of the dental arches in patients treated without extractions and untreated normal occlusion subjects after a four-decade follow-up. This retrospective study evaluated two groups: The Treated Group (Group T) comprised 16 patients (6 male; 10 female) presenting with Class I or Class II malocclusions treated orthodontically without extractions. Dental models were evaluated 3 stages: T1 (pretreatment, 13.20 years), T2 (posttreatment, 15.07 years) and T3 (long-term posttreatment, 50.32 years). The Untreated Group (Group UT) consisted of 22 untreated normal occlusion individuals. The dental casts were evaluated at the ages of 13.32 (T1), 17.82 (T2) and 60.95 years (T3). The dental casts were digitized and the irregularity index, intercanine, interpremolar and intermolar widths, overjet and overbite, arch length and perimeter were measured. Intergroup comparisons were performed with independent t tests (P
