Linear measurements performed in this study to assess transverse dimension of the palate. A inter-canine width (ICW), inter-molar width (IMW); B emi-intercanine width (eICW), emi-intermolar width (eIMW). The median palatal plane (MPP) was drawn through two landmarks detected along the median palatal raphe and showed in red. The first landmark identified the point on the median palatal raphe adjacent to the second ruga. The second landmark was placed on the median palatal raphe 1 cm distal to the first point. eICW and eIMW represent respectively the linear distance from the midpoint of the dento-gingival junction of the primary canine and first molar to the MPP
