Dentofacial characteristics and age in association with incisor bony support in adult female patients with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.

The bony support of the incisors is associated with age and dentofacial traits. Increasing age and facial divergence are considered risk factors for alveolar defects in female patients with BDP. In contrast, increased root length is associated with a thicker mandibular incisor apical bone support.
