The development of a novel Orthodontic Alignment Index and its use  to evaluate the effect of residual overjet on the stability of the alignment of the maxillary anterior dentition

ConclusionsUsing a novel index (OAI) and LII, there was limited post-treatment relapse in alignment of the maxillary anterior dentition over a 12-month period. Based on this retrospective evaluation, achieving a normal overjet at the end of treatment may have little bearing on the post-treatment stability of maxillary anterior alignment at 12  months.
