Jefferson skeletal classification system (JSCS) and how it helps in extraction and non-extraction orthodontic cases.
Facial appearance depends mainly on bone support 1,2,3,4,5. Bone position is the first consideration when making an orthodontic treatment decision. The skeletal classification evolved to give us the opportunity for a better assessment and understanding of cases. Jefferson Skeletal Classification System (JSCS) shows the most common malpositioned jaws. This system will also help to asses extraction and non-extraction orthodontic cases.
