Assessment of Dental Arch Width in Individuals With Various Growth Patterns: A Cross-Sectional Study
Dental arch widths vary significantly with various skeletal growth patterns. Hypodivergent individuals possess the widest arches, hyperdivergent the narrowest, and normodivergent intermediate dimensions. These findings emphasize considering vertical skeletal growth in orthodontic diagnosis, archwire selection, and long-term treatment stability.
