Table 6 Synopsis of different sutural and device transversal measurements

From: Three-dimensional analysis of miniscrew position changes during bone-borne expansion in young and late adolescent patients

Screw nominal expansion (mm)

Intercrestal diameter variation (furcation of the sixth) (mm)

 

Miniscrews-interhead distance variation (mm)

Suture opening (sum of the left and right distance to the midline) (mm)

Bisp (mm)

Asymmetry (absolute value of the difference between the left and right distance to the midline) (mm)
