Many important structures are associated with the maxillary alveolar bone and should be considered during orthodontic tooth movement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the anterior maxillary alveolar bone thickness (AMABT), inclination of the central incisors, and the incisive canal (IC), as well as changes in the thickness based on age and sex of the patients.
