Figure 2: Linear measurements in transverse plane: 1. Smile width or intercommissure width-Distance between most medial points on the lips at the angle of the mouth (left to right cheilion, RCh to LCh). 2. Visible dentition width-Distance between the most lateral left and right buccal points on maxillary dentition. 3. Interpremolar distance- Distance between the most distal visible points on the fi rst premolar (in case of extraction second premolars) (RPM to LPM). 4. Maxillary intercanine width-Distance between the most distal visible points on the canines (R Cus to L Cus)
