Abstract :

The study aims to assess the ability of Beta angle, a cephlometric angle used to measure anterio – posterior skeletal base relationship to identify class II skeletal base.63 pre–treatment cephalograms were selected in to Class II group based on angle ANB, from 123 lateral cephalograms. The Beta angle values obtained were analyzed. The angle Beta is sensitive and specific in differentiating a Class II from a Class I
