 + Values indicate the tipping movement in the buccal or distal direction (× 10−2 mm); − values indicate the lingual or mesial direction (× 10−2 mm); the direction is also marked after the value. B, buccal movement; L, lingual movement; M, mesial movement; D, distal movement. 1, central incisor; 2, lateral incisor; 3, canine; 5, second premolar; 6, first molar; 7, second molar. The calculation of buccal/lingual and mesial/distal tipping change is described in the Methodology section
