Abstract

A stable and aesthetic set of teeth is ensured by proper alignment. Additionally, a correct tooth position offers excellent conditions for good health and the best possible dental care. However, harmony amongst tooth and arch proportions leads to the continuity and integrity of the dental arch. Any imbalance amongst these components puts a person at risk for dental crowding and spacing, both of which are bad for the function and health of the teeth. Objectives: The goal of the current study was to compare the tooth and arch diameters amongst dental arches that are normal, crowded, and spaced. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the UMDC Faisalabad orthodontic department. Patients and/or parents gave their informed consent before the start of therapy so that their records might be utilised for research. 120 dental casts of Pakistani subjects older than 13 years old were gathered as a sample. Dental casts that met the following inclusion criteria were chosen from the files of patients seeking orthodontic treatment: Pretreatment casts of patients with no past orthodontic treatment history, a permanent dentition that has fully emerged and allows accurate measurements of the crown dimensions, and excellent orthodontic casts.
