The amount of the displacement for the incisal edge, palatal cusp of the first premolar and palatal cusp of the first molar. A Total amount of displacement, B Displacements in buccolingual direction, C Displacements in anteroposterior direction, D Displacements in superoinferior direction. Each group is represented by a different geometric shape. The square shape indicates the tooth-borne group, the rounded shape indicates the hybrid group, and the triangle indicates the bone-borne group. The solid images represent the incisal edge, the unsolid images represent the palatal cusp of the first premolar, and the dotted circle images represent the palatal cusp of the first molar
