Clinical Treatment Progress of Unilateral Posterior Crossbite

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.07.003

Abstract

Abstract: Unilateral posterior crossbite is a common malocclusion. The main manifestation is the narrowing of the upper dental arch and the inconsistent width of the upper and lower dental arches. In severe cases, aesthetic problems such as jaw deviation and facial asymmetry will occur. When the jaw, muscles, temporomandibular joints, and other aspects were affected, the health of mouth and jaw system may also be affected. Familiarity with the etiology, treatment timing, and clinical treatment techniques of unilateral posterior crossbite can help prevent and treat the disease. This article provides a review of the clinical treatment progress of unilateral posterior crossbite.

Key words: unilateral posterior crossbite, maxillary transverse hypoplasia, unilateral expansion
