  1. There were significant differences by gender at all measuring points in maxillary GT3. The GT3 of canine was thinner than that of central and lateral incisor, the difference was statistically significant, *, #, △ P < 0.05, a P < 0.05, central incisor compared to canine, b P < 0.05, lateral incisor compared to canine
