How much leeway space is estimated in the mandible?

  1. 3mm

  2. 4mm

  3. 5mm

  4. 6mm

The correct answer is: 5mm

It is essential to have enough leeway space in the mandible for proper alignment and function of the teeth. The options A, B, and D may seem reasonable at first glance, but they are actually too small and may result in crowding of the teeth. The correct estimation for leeway space in the mandible is around 5mm, which provides enough room for proper tooth movement and alignment. Therefore, option C is the best estimate for the necessary leeway space in the mandible.
