Posterior crossbite - treatment and stability
Posterior crossbite is defined as an inadequate transversal relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth. Even when eliminating the etiologic factors, this malocclusion does not have a spontaneous correction, and should be treated with maxillary expansion as early as possible. This treatment aims at providing a better tooth/skeletal relationship, thereby improving masticatory function, and es...
متن کاملLong-term stability of unilateral posterior crossbite correction.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the stability of orthodontically corrected unilateral posterior crossbite in patients treated either by rapid maxillary expansion or with slow expansion devices in the early (mean age 7.2 years, n = 50) or late mixed dentition (mean age 9.9 years, n = 50). MATERIALS AND METHODS The observation periods were approximately 8 years for the early treatment groups and 6.5 year...
متن کاملPosterior crossbite and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs): need for orthodontic treatment?
The aim of this work was to update the bibliography regarding the concept of 'temporomandibular disorder (TMD)' and 'posterior crossbite' and try to find out if there is any association between some special signs/symptoms of TMD and type of posterior crossbite. A literature search from 1970 to 2009, due to specified criterion, resulted in 14 publications that were found to be relevant for the p...
متن کاملEarly treatment of posterior crossbite - a randomised clinical trial
BACKGROUND The aim of this randomised clinical trial was to assess the effect of early orthodontic treatment in contrast to normal growth effects for functional unilateral posterior crossbite in the late deciduous and early mixed dentition by means of three-dimensional digital model analysis. METHODS This randomised clinical trial was assessed to analyse the orthodontic treatment effects for ...
متن کاملUnilateral posterior crossbite and chin deviation: is there a correlation?
A retrospective study evaluating the clinical discernment of chin deviations in general, and especially in relation to unilateral posterior crossbite (UPXB), was carried out to determine whether (1) there is a correlation between UPXB and clinically discernible chin deviation, (2) there are differences between the judgement of professional dental observers and laymen, (3) visual assessment of c...
