The findings on the development of dental, facial and septal conditions from birth to about 6 years of age include the following: 1) Septal configuration can be readily tested at birth, and if deformity is present, then deformity will still be present at age 6 years. 2) The internal septal configuration can be categorized into three types: type A: The septum is in the midline. type B: There is unilateral bending or kinking of the septum at the vomerine junction. type C: The septum is deformed to both sides in an S configuration. 3) Height of the palate does not predispose to septal deformity. 4) Dental abnormalities of rotation, compression or crowding of the teeth, asymmetry of width and height of the palate, and shift of the mandibular arch from the midline occur most frequently in cases of type B (88%), much less in type C and least in type A. 5) At birth one can predict that type B babies will have considerably more likelihood of developing occlusal abnormalities than type A babies. 6) The dental abnormalities in many of these subjects are of sufficient degree to expect that malocclusion will undoubtedly develop. Thus the same etiological factors producing septal abnormalities at birth must be considered to be factors producing many malocclusions.
从出生到6岁左右牙齿、面部和鼻中隔状况的发育情况如下：1）鼻中隔形态在出生时即可轻松检测，若存在畸形，6岁时仍会存在。2）鼻中隔内部形态可分为三种类型：A型：鼻中隔位于中线。B型：鼻中隔在犁骨连接处有单侧弯曲或扭结。C型：鼻中隔呈S形向两侧变形。3）腭的高度不会引发鼻中隔畸形。4）牙齿旋转、挤压或拥挤、腭宽度和高度不对称以及下颌弓偏离中线等牙齿异常在B型病例中最常见（88%），C型较少，A型最少。5）出生时可以预测，B型婴儿比A型婴儿发生咬合异常的可能性要大得多。6）这些受试者中许多人的牙齿异常程度足以预料无疑会发展为错牙合畸形。因此，出生时导致鼻中隔异常的相同病因因素也必须被视为导致许多错牙合畸形的因素。
