    Background: Studies reported on the skeletal relationship in subjects with palatally displaced canines were minimal. Aim: To determine skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue parameters in subjects with palatally displaced canines and to compare them with subjects with normally erupting canines.  Material and Methods: A total of 120 lateral cephalograms for palatally displaced canines subjects were collected (70 females, 50 males; age 17.173.09 years). A control sample with no canine displacement matched the study group were included. Lateral cephalograms were traced and measurements were calculated. Results: Majority of palatally displaced canines subjects (62%) had Class I skeletal and (33%) class II division 2 incisor rela.. View More»
