Evaluation of the bioelectrical activity of the masticatory muscles in patients with narrowed maxillary transverse dimension compared to the occlusal norm.

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine how the electrical activity of the temporalis, masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles differs in children with reduced transverse jaw dimension compared to children with normal occlusion.

Design: It was a experimental study. Thirty-seven patients were included in the study.

Assessment of Growth Changes in the Width of Dental Arches Caused by Removable Appliances over a Period of 10 Months in Children with Malocclusion.

(1) Background: A large number of patients of orthodontic clinics are diagnosed with improper jaw relationships. Intraoral scanners have become an important part of orthodontic practice and provide an opportunity to measure the changes in the width of dental arches. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of removable appliances used over a 10-month period on growth changes in children with narrowed jaw dimensions.
