Lecture Description

Most of the facial asymmetry usually presented with mandibular asymmetry. Mandibular asymmetry is mostly related to maxillary deficiency. Malposition of the maxillary teeth could be a cause of premature contact and lead to anterior or posterior cross bite with mandibular asymmetry. Loss of permanent maxillary teeth could cause arch collapsing with subsequently limited function of the affected side with asymmetry appearance. The presentation will focus on the cause of mandibular asymmetry from occlusal interference with malposition of the maxillary teeth. Disclusion by means of bite plane in appropriate location with orthodontic tooth movement to improve the mandibular asymmetry will be presented.
