1. In extraction cases: 1) The maxillary intercanine width increased. 2) The maxillary dental arch width decreased. 3) The maxillary inter first molar width decreased. 4) The maxillary dental arch length decreased. 5) The maxillary dental arch length (I-3) increased.
2. In non-extraction cases, the maxillary intercanine width decreased in Angle's class III.
