Abstract
A relative comparison of Class I, Class II, and Class III subjects showed that dental compensation had occurred to overcome the transverse skeletal discrepancies in the maxillary posterior segments of Class II and Class III subjects. This could escalate unidentified periodontal and functional problems in the long term. Future studies of transverse dentofacial dimensions, including periodontal evaluations and occlusal forces, would be useful for delivering proper orthodontic treatment for skeletal Class II and Class III subjects.
