Abstract

This article discusses the adaptive alterations of the temporomandibular joints of a boy, aged 8 years 5 months, who underwent correction of a unilateral posterior crossbite. The shape and position of the articular structures, imaged by helicoidal computed tomography at the end of the expansion period and 7 months after treatment, showed a tendency toward condylar centralization and articular symmetry.
