| Superscript letters (a and b) show differences between the values within the same column. Accordingly, the values relating to the preoperative and 7 day have no a statistically significant difference in both groups interincisal opening. cm – centimeter; mm – milimeter; SD – standard deviation. * Statistical analysis was used for parameters as follows: Friedman test for comparison of 3 time points in interincisal opening; Wilcoxon signed rank test to determine which time point caused difference for interincisal opening; Mann-Whitney U test for comparison 2 time points between age groups. Levene’s test for comparison of root migration distance between age groups. Statistical significance was set at | |||
