All subjects had a full permanent dentition with the exception of the third molars. Arch length discrepancy ranged from 1 to 3 mm in each jaw within the three dimensions (vertical, anteroposterior and transverse), 2 to 3 mm overjet, 20-30% overbite and coincidental facial and dental midlines. Subjects with craniofacial deformities, pregnant female subjects, those who had been exposed to x-ray radiation within the last six months and those who had received previous orthodontic treatment were excluded from the study.First visit, impression taking was performed. Splint fabrication was done using 2 mm thickness hard vacuum sheets and the thickness was checked with the digital caliper to ensure 1-1.2 mm thickness of the sheet after fabrication.Thirty seven CBCT images were collected using the i-CAT CBCT machine. The subject`s head was oriented before imaging in the natural head position. The three-dimensional assessment was performed by In Vivo Dental Anatomage 5.3 software. The inter- and intra-observer reliability was confirmed after the 3D landmarks identification for randomly selected 10% of the sample by two observers, the researcher (observer1) and a colleague (observer2), and only for the researcher to do it twice with a gap of seven days between them UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
