To predict the size of unerupted premolars and canines: 1/2 of Mesio-Distal width of four lower incisors + 10.5 = Estimated width of mandibular premolars + canine in one quadrant 1/2 of Mesio-Distal width of four lower incisors + 11.0 = Estimated width of maxillary premolars + canine in one quadrant This analysis takes 3 measurements into account:
It is the longest tooth in total length (from the root to the incisal edge) in the mouth. Canines are also the only anterior teeth with a cusp. Maxillary canines begin to calcify by 4 months of age. The enamel of the tooth is completely formed by around 6 to 7 years of age and the permanent maxillary canines erupt at around 11 to 12 years of age.
Moyer's mixed dentition analysis was created in 1971 by Robert Moyers.This an analysis that is used in dentistry to predict the size of the permanent premolars and canines by measuring the width of the permanent incisors.

The maxillary teeth are the maxillary central incisors (teeth 8 and 9 in the diagram), maxillary lateral incisors (7 and 10), maxillary canines (6 and 11), maxillary first premolars (5 and 12), maxillary second premolars (4 and 13), maxillary first molars (3 and 14), maxillary second molars (2 and 15), and maxillary third molars (1 and 16).
The mouth is divided into 6 segments, and is examined in the following order: maxillary anterior, maxillary right posterior, maxillary left posterior, mandibular anterior, mandibular right posterior and mandibular left posterior. The tool is superimposed over the teeth for the scoring measurement, each tooth present is scored 0, 1 or 2. [8]

Leeway space is the size differential between the primary posterior teeth (C,D,E) and the permanent teeth (canine, first and second pre-molar). Maxillary space of 1.5mm, mandibular 2.5mm can be seen. Maxillary space of 1.5mm, mandibular 2.5mm can be seen.
