Contemporary cephalometric analysis has been used. The number of patients is equally decided on 3 groups, as well as there is a 4th group of Class IiI patients which is a good sign for the researchers since Class III patients are very rear and difficult to collect for a research. So, this fact makes the statistic results more valuable and reliable.

Very interesting and easy to read article on a contemporary topic such as reduction of the airways due to tooth extraction and low tongue position.
Congratulations on your research and good statistics.
The English used in the main text is clear and professional. Although about 30% of the references are older than 20 years, the literature references give sufficient background/context information.
The structure of figures and tables is very clear and they concisely and comprehensively express the results.
However, you should check the correspondence between the number of tables mentioned in the text and the contents of the tables and captions. for example in lines 177, 181, 183 you refer to the contents of table 1 by describing it different from the caption, also in lines 203-204 you say that "table 2 presents demographic information of patients" but it should be table 1 and so on.
