Evaluation of the three-dimensional (3D) position of cervical vertebrae in individuals with unilateral posterior crossbite

ConclusionsThere is a positive correlation between transverse occlusal changes and positional deviations of the cervical vertebrae, especially C2 and C3.Clinical relevanceThe study results do not allow us to infer the clinical/functional consequences of these deviations, as well as if malocclusion ’s treatment would result in an improvement of intervertebral relationships.
