Perfectly symmetrical faces are very rare to find. Even in individual patient with symmetrical
face has skeletal asymmetry; this suggests that soft tissues minimize the
existing asymmetry. Therefore small
asymmetries are considered normal. When
arch asymmetries become significant, it should be considered in planning for
orthodontic treatments. Most dental
asymmetries can be treated with orthodontics alone during patient’s growth period;
however, significant asymmetries may require later orthognathic surgical
treatments.
Shown below is a patient with severe arch asymmetry, teeth
are very crowded, posterior crossbite on both sides were treated by Dr Nguyen
during patient’s growth period without surgical intervention
