Genetic and environmental contributions to the development of dental arch traits: a longitudinal twin study
Dental arch traits were mostly influenced by additive genetic and non-shared environmental factors during development. Except for arch lengths and intermolar widths, genetic and environmental influences on dental arch traits fluctuated during development, with the genetic influence at its lowest during the mixed dentition stage.
