Maxillary transverse deficiency is one of the critical manifestations of malocclusion. It is of vital importance to diagnose maxillary transverse deficiency at the early stage because maxillary development in the transverse dimension stops early. Currently, there are several approaches to diagnose maxillary transverse deficiency, including clinical examination, dental cast measurement, poster-anterior cephalogram, and cone-beam CT. This narrative review will review these diagnostic and predictive approaches of maxillary transverse deficiency.
上颌横向发育不足是错牙合畸形的关键表现之一。早期诊断上颌横向发育不足至关重要,因为上颌横向维度的发育较早停止。目前,有多种诊断上颌横向发育不足的方法,包括临床检查、模型测量、头影测量和锥形束CT。本文将对上颌横向发育不足的这些诊断和预测方法进行综述。
