Relationship of Anterior Alveolar Dimensions with Mandibular Divergence in Class I Malocclusion - A Cephalometric Study.

Introduction: One of the major limiting factors in retraction of proclined teeth is the width of the alveolus both in maxilla and mandible.

Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the maxillary and mandibular anterior alveolar dimensions and to correlate with mandibular divergence in Class I bi-dento-alveolar protrusion patients.

Materials And Methods: Pretreatment lateral cephalograms (n=88) were analysed using a composite analysis with cephalometric software.
