Abstract:

The size and morphology of the dental arch and basal bone have become important parameters for orthodontists in diagnosing malocclusion, designing treatment plan, and evaluating the therapeutic efficacy. Defining the transverse characteristics of dental arch and basal bone in patients with different malocclusions, as well as the factors affecting them, is beneficial for orthodontists to control treatment. Therefore, this paper reviews methods for measuring the dental arch and basal bone, transverse characteristics of the dental arch and basal bone in patients with different malocclusions, and factors influencing them.

Key words: dental arch, basal bone, transverse characteristics
