Abstract

Introduction: Transverse length related malocclusions are common in orthodontic clinics. They can be as simple as posterior crossbite or as severe as Class III malocclusion, where the jaw is asymmetrical. Cases of lateral malocclusion range from simple alveolar problems to complex problems such as bone asymmetries that occur after adolescence and lead to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Aim: This is a review article to discuss types of transverse malocclusions and most latest innovations in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Conclusion: Many methods of diagnosis and correcting maxillary transverse discrepancies have been discussed. Orthodontists should know about the drawbacks of each method.
