[The effect of transverse dental compensation of camouflaged treatment in adult skeletal Class Ⅲ patients with width discrepancy using cone-beam CT].
CONCLUSIONS: Camouflaged treatment deteriorated the transverse compensation in skeletal Class Ⅲ patients with width discrepancy, accompanied with maxillary buccal alveolar bone resorption. When camouflaged treatment is planned, the potential of molar compensation in transverse dimension should be clearly defined. Appropriate pre-adjusted appliance or surgery-assisted expansion should be considered to avoid periodontal risks.
