Functional state of the dentoalveolar system in patients with transverse malocclusion

Transverse malocclusion is one of the most complex abnormalities characterized by a wide variety of different forms. Morphological characteristics of this pathology have been well investigated, while the functional state of the dentoalveolar system in these patients is still poorly studied. In this article, we analyzed the electromyographic parameters of the maxillofacial muscles during different movements of the mandible in patients with transverse malocclusion and compared them with normal ones.
