Skeletal effects of RME in the transverse and vertical dimensions of the nasal cavity in mouth-breathing growing children

Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics
Introduction: Maxillary constriction is a dentoskeletal deformity characterized by discrepancy in maxilla/mandible relationship in the transverse plane, which may be associated with respiratory dysfunction. Objective: The objective of this study was to

Computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway after rapid maxillary expansion: a case report [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Assessment of the upper airway volume, morphology, and mechanics is of great importance for the orthodontic patient. We hypothesize that upper airway dimensions have significant effects on the dynamics of the airway flow and that both the ...

Skeletal posterior crossbite in patient with mandibular asymmetry: an alternative solution

Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics, 2021
Introduction: Skeletal posterior crossbite (SPCB) has a multifactorial etiology, as it may be caused by parafunctional habits, atypical position of the tongue, tooth losses and maxillary or mandibular transverse skeletal asymmetries. Skeletal involvement
