Occlusal features: Descriptive analysis of space magnitude and sagittal inter-canine relationships for the aplasia side, overjet and overbite at the selected assessment time points

	T0	T1	T2	T3
Space magnitude [mm]: Mean	7.5	6.5	0.0	0.0
(SD; min.; max.)	(2.6; 2.5; 11.0)	(2.3; 1.5; 11.5)	(0.0; 0.0; 0.0)	(0.0; 0.0; 0.0)
Canine relationship [mm]: Mean	3.5	4.3	0.2	0.1

Deviations from neutral sagittal canine relationship towards an Angle-Class II were defined as positive distances (+ mm); conversely, deviations in the anterior direction towards an Angle-Class III were defined by negative values (− mm). All values are given in mm
