Table 1: Cast-Radiograph Evaluation (CRE) methodology.

Category	Local and assessment	Measurement or visualization	Point subtracted
Alignment	Anterior and posterior teeth rotation, with different references to assess proper alignment: » Upper anterior teeth: incisal edges and lingual surfaces; » Lower anterior teeth: incisal edges and labial surfaces; » Upper posterior teeth: mesiodistal central groove; » Lower posterior teeth: buccal cusps.	< 0.5 mm 0.5 to 1 mm > 1 mm	0 1 2
Marginal ridge leveling	Posterior teeth, in each interproximal contact, except on the distal ridge of lower first premolar	< 0,5 mm 0,5 to 1 mm > 1 mm	0 1 2
Buccolingual inclination	Posterior teeth, except measurements of lower premolars	< 1 mm 1 to 2 mm > 2 mm	0 1 2
Occlusal relationship	Anteroposterior relationship involving canine to second molar. Upper buccal cusps should occlude within 1 mm of the lower interproximal embrasures.	< 1 mm 1 to 2 mm > 2 mm	0 1 2
Occlusal contacts	Posterior teeth, considering the functioning upper cusps and the correspondent lower functioning cusps and pits.	Contacting Non-contacting < 1 mm Non-contacting > 1 mm	0 1 2
Overjet	Anterior and posterior teeth. Measurements obtained from each upper tooth. Anterior teeth should be in contact. Lower buccal cusp of posterior tooth should occlude with the upper central groove.	Anterior contact: 0 mm Anterior: Non-contacting < 1 mm Anterior: Non-contacting > 1 mm Posterior coordination: 0 mm Posterior: incoordination < 1 mm Posterior incoordination > 1 mm	0 1 2 0 1 2
Interproximal contacts	Effective or spaced interproximal contact evaluated from occlusal perspective.	< 0.5 mm 0.5 to 1 mm > 1 mm	0 1 2
Root parallelism	Evaluated from panoramic radiograph. Disregard significant root dilaceration.	Root parallelism Root non-parallel Roots in contact	0 1 2
