Transverse malocclusion This alteration consists of an alteration in the width of the lower jaw with respect to the upper jaw, causing unilateral or bilateral crossbite
Chewing problems: since the upper teeth do not fit with the lower ones, it is not possible to chew properly. In addition, it is very common to have digestive problems.

Correct brushing and the use of hygiene items such as dental floss and mouthwashes prevent the accumulation of bacterial plaque that causes dental caries and gum disease.
