Variable definition
| Variable | Definition |
|---|---|
| Intermolar width | Linear distance between right and left maxillary first molars |
| Alveolar width | Linear distance between right and left maxillary first molar alveolar bone |
| Suture expansion at ANS | Transverse width between anterior nasal spine points |
| Suture expansion at PNS | Transverse width between posterior nasal spine points |
| Tooth inclination | Angle between the long axis of the maxillary first molar and the palatal plane |
| Alveolar height | Distance from the most inferior alveolar point at mesiobucccal root of maxillary first molar to baseline |
Baseline: Line passing through the lowest point at the inferior inner contour of the nasal cavity on the same side, parallel to the axial plane.
