[Table/Fig-9]:
Average values and respective standard deviations and confidence intervals of the pre-treatment tooth lengths, post-treatment tooth lengths, angle between the pre and post-treatment inclination, trigonometric correction and adjusted pre-treatment tooth lengths after the trigonometric correction was applied. All of the length measurements use the mesiodistal diameter of the crown of the mandibular right first molar as the standard unit
