Transverse maxillomandibular discrepancies are a major component of several malocclusions. They must be prematurely detected and treated. The causes are parafunctional, dysfunctional or kinetic. The different clinical forms encountered are alveolar (endoalveolia) or skeletal (endognathia), which may be associated with a kinetic anomaly. Orthopedic and orthodontic forces are used routinely to correct a maxillary transverse deficiency in a young patient to achieve harmonious growth.
上颌下颌横向差异是几种错牙合畸形的主要组成部分。必须尽早发现并治疗。其原因包括副功能、功能障碍或动力学因素。所遇到的不同临床形式为牙槽性（牙槽内）或骨性（颌骨内），可能与动力学异常相关。在年轻患者中，通常使用正畸和矫形力来纠正上颌横向不足，以实现和谐生长。
