Table 2 Descriptive statistics of the predicted, achieved and deviational molar movements

From: Influence of maxillary molar distalization with clear aligners on three-dimensional direction: molar distal movement, intrusion, distal tip and crown buccal torque

	Achieved	Predicated	Deviational movement
	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD
Distal movement (mm)	1.34 ± 0.90	2.43 ± 1.11	− 1.10 ± 0.84
Intrusion (mm)	0.53 ± 0.55	0.14 ± 0.89	0.39 ± 0.91
Distal tip (°)	5.08 ± 4.51	− 0.28 ± 3.96	5.36 ± 5.57
Crown buccal torque (°)	1.16 ± 4.33	− 2.77 ± 5.86	3.93 ± 6.05
