Mesiodistal tip and faciolingual torque outcomes in computer-driven orthodontic appliances

Although statistically different, the overall mean discrepancy of the SStarget models to the outcome CBCT were within the clinically acceptable range (±2.5°). The mean outcome discrepancies were found to be statistically significant across several tooth types, but their clinical significance (beyond ±2.5°) was limited to the maxillary and mandibular second molars for tip and the maxillary second molar and mandibular central and lateral incisors for torque. Overall, the tip outcomes were closer to the plan than the torque outcomes for most of the tooth types.
