  1. *Iqr is Interquartile range
  2. All the variable LC (difference between the tooth position achieved after the treatment and that one of the virtual model of the ClinCheck®) are significant for all types of movements (one-sample t test conducted on logarithmic transformed data; P < 0.001), except for the rotation of maxillary 1st molar (one-sample t test conducted on logarithmic transformed data; P = 0.3613). The difference in rotation of the maxillary 2nd molar was close to the significance level (one-sample t test conducted on logarithmic transformed data; P = 0.0527)
