Of the various techniques used to determine the optimum timing for growth modification treatments, the cervical vertebrae maturation method has great advantages, including validity and no need for extra X-ray exposure. Recently, the reproducibility of this method has been questioned. The aim of this study was to investigate the cause of poor reproducibility of this method and to assess the reproducibility of the clinical decisions made based on it.
