Class III malocclusion with unilateral posterior crossbite and facial asymmetry*
This article reports on the orthodontic treatment performed on a 36-year-old female patient with skeletal and dental Class III pattern, presenting with a left unilateral posterior crossbite and mandibular asymmetry, and a relatively significant difference between maximum intercuspation (MIC) and centric relation (CR). The treatment was performed with maxillary dental expansion, mandibular denta...
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...
متن کاملFunctional evaluation of orthopedic and orthodontic treatment in a patient with unilateral posterior crossbite and facial asymmetry
An 8-years old boy with facial asymmetry and unilateral posterior crossbite on the left side received orthopedic and orthodontic treatment. During the first phase of treatment, the narrow maxillary arch was expanded using an acrylic plate. Then, the acrylic plate was used as a bite block with occlusal indentations from the construction bite that was obtained with the incisors in a coincident de...
متن کاملComparison of the mandibular hinge axis in adult patients with facial asymmetry with and without posterior unilateral crossbite.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Although it has been suggested that adult patients with facial asymmetry with posterior unilateral crossbite (PUXB) may have a more tilted mandibular hinge axis (MHA) than those without PUXB, whether craniofacial morphology is associated with the MHA remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the craniofacial morphology and MHA in adult subjects with post-gr...
متن کاملAnalysis of Facial Asymmetry
Facial symmetry is an important component of attractiveness. However, functional symmetry is favorable to aesthetic symmetry. In addition, fluctuating asymmetry is more natural and common, even if patients find such asymmetry to be noticeable. However, fluctuating asymmetry remains difficult to define. Several studies have shown that a certain level of asymmetry could generate an unfavorable im...
