Accuracy of lingual straight-wire orthodontic treatment with passive self-ligating brackets and square slot: a retrospective study

Progress in Orthodontics

Table 4 Statistical comparison of accuracy [|T2/T1|] × 100 between tooth type for both maxilla and mandible for each movement investigated, using Tamhane’s post hoc for torque and tip, and Fishers LDS post hoc (p < 0.05*)
