Incidence of children at risk for obstructive sleep apnea undergoing common day surgery procedures

Transverse maxillomandibular discrepancies are a major component of several malocclusions. Clinically, posterior crossbite is a common and valid indicator of maxillary transverse problems and orthopedic and orthodontic forces are routinely used to correct maxillary transverse deficiency. However, crossbite and transverse discrepancies are not a homologous group but must be viewed as a continuum with varying degree of abnormality. The etiology, diagnostic protocol, rationale, and procedures employed for correcting maxillary transverse discrepancy in the absence of crossbite are discussed in the article.
