Age, different vertical patterns, alveolar bone inclination, and different shapes of MBS significantly affected the thickness of alveolar bone and cortical bone in the MBS area. Notably, only alveolar bone thickness and cortical bone thickness at level II were affected by age and different vertical patterns simultaneously. These findings can provide valuable insights for orthodontic practitioners in selecting the most suitable location for miniscrew insertion during treatment planning.
