    The dentoalveolar measurements used for the cephalometric analysis: 1) U1-L1 (°): the angle between the long axis of upper incisors and the long axis of lower incisors; 2) U1-PP (°): the angle between the long axis of upper incisors and anterior nasal spine-posterior nasal spine (ANS-PNS) line; 3) U1-NA (°): the angle between the long axis of upper incisors and Nasion-point A line; 4) U1-NA (mm): the perpendicular distance between the tip of the upper incisor and Nasion-point A line; 5) L1-GoGn (°): the angle between the long axis of lower incisors and Gonion-Gnathion line; 6) L1-NB (°): the angle between the long axis of lower incisors and Nasion-point B line; and 7) L1-NB (mm): the perpendicular distance between the tip of the lower incisor and Nasion-point B line.
