Analysis of Association between Posterior Crossbite, Median Line Deviation and Facial Asymmetry

Facial asymmetry is a common human characteristic and can occur on many levels, originate of genetic factors, and can be caused by traumas or due to cross bite and/or muscular disability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between posterior crossbite, median line deviation and facial...
