    Background: The palate is one of the regions where the use and placement of mini-implants in orthodontics has been most frequently described, reducing treatment times and benefiting patients and orthodontists. Objective: To determine the thicknesses of palatal hard tissue available for mini-implant placement in the palate and its associated factors in CBCTs obtained from patients treated at Orthodentm Cia. Ltda in Cuenca - Ecuador. Materials and methods: CBCT images of 352 patients were used in this study. The thicknesses of palatal hard tissue were measured at the coronal planes of first premolars, second premolars, first molars and second molars (planes P1, P2, M1 and M2, respectively). Results: The hard tissue was thickest in the P1 plane, followed by the P2, M1 and M2 planes. Premolar planes presented a V-shaped pattern, being thickest in the P1 plane; However, at the level of the molars there is an inverse V pattern, the hard tissue was thickest at point P0, and its thickness decreasing distally. Conclusions: The thicknesses of palatal hard tissue decreased in an anteroposterior direction; it increased from medial to lateral in the P1 and P2 planes. The safest areas for the placement of mini-implants are considered: at the premorals planes, 10mm distal from the midline bilaterally, and at the molars planes in the middle part of the palate (P0).
