The airway dimensions and tongue parameters increased significantly in both treatment groups in the present study. These changes were higher in the Herbst appliance than in the AdvanSync group, except for the distance of the tongue tip from the lower occlusal plane. A significant difference between the pharyngeal airways was found only for the retropalatal oropharyngeal airway.
