It also explores the correction of pre-existing dental velar asymmetry and stress distribution in appliance design. The conversation covers a comprehensive exploration of midfacial expansion, tooth movements, asymmetries, face mask use, and forces applied during treatment. Dr. Koval discusses the impact of expansion on smile alignment, tooth corrections, and the relationship between teeth and jaw position. She also addresses the stability of expansion, the use of face masks, and the forces applied to the midfacial complex.

Takeaways

  • Understanding the impact of asymmetries on facial expansion
  • Factors contributing to the development of asymmetries Midfacial expansion impacts smile alignment and tooth corrections.
  • Asymmetries are primarily dental and alveolar, easily corrected after expansion.
