^aResults are mean values ± standard deviations. All values are absolute values.

^bn, number of each tooth type used for analysis; BL indicates bucco-lingual; MD, mesiodistal; OG, occlusogingival.

^cThe transferred bracket position is within the selected limits of 0.5 mm for linear measurements and 2° for angular measurements.
