Abstract

No studies have been done to measure the skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue parameters in subjects with palatally and buccally displaced canines. The hypothesis of this study is that there is difference in the skeletal and dentoalveolar measurements between subjects with palatally, buccally and normally erupting canines. A total of 200 subjects with maxillary canine displacement (90 palatally displaced, 110 buccally displaced) were recruited for this study. The age of the subjects ranged between 13-15 years old. Subjects were divided into 2 groups (maxillary palatal canine displacement and maxillary buccal canine displacement). These subjects were compared with 100 subjects asa control group. In conclusion,There in  is no significant difference in maxillary length between subjects with buccally and palatally displaced canine and control group. However palatal canine displacement group had reduced vertical dimensions, increased overbite, small dentoalveolar heights and retruded upper and lower lips.
