Highly significant differences in overjet: - Both condyles Δ x ≥ 2 mm → p = 0.0002; - Δz ≥ 2 mm → p = 0.001 (left), p = 0.007 (right).

Although the ANB angle after centric slide adjustment approached significance ( p = 0.055), this trend aligns with earlier studies by Shi et al. and Chen et al., which report that CR-based assessments can reveal skeletal discrepancies otherwise concealed in habitual occlusion [ 11 , 16 ].
A trend toward significance was observed for overjet ( p = 0.08), suggesting that the centric relation adjustment of the mandible may reveal hidden occlusal discrepancies, particularly in vertical and sagittal overlap.
