The average leeway space in the maxilla (both right and left sides) is 1.8 mm.

Leeway space is the amount of space available for the movement of teeth in the maxilla and mandible during orthodontic treatment. It is calculated by subtracting the combined mesiodistal width of the mandibular incisors from that of the maxillary incisors.
