Module 1 Case Question 4
One of the answers for skeletal diagnosis is no transverse discrepancy. Can you please explain your rationale for this? I would say there IS a transverse discrepancy as the lower posterior teeth looked tipped lingually.

Lily,
Interesting question. Can you explain that a bit further about why lingually tipped incisors indicate a diagnosis of transverse discrepancy for you?
For this answer I look at the apical bases in the posterior to see that they did not diagnosis of a skeletal transverse discrepancy.
Look forward to your thoughts!

No, not incisors- posterior teeth. To me, the mandibular posterior teeth looked lingually inclined indicating a compensation for a narrow maxilla.

Doh! You sure did say posterior teeth! Sorry that I read it too fast.
Yes in the Module 1 case I see the lingually inclined molars and if you were citing that as your justification for a suspected transverse deficiency then you’d be golden.
That is a great thing about each exam being reviewed by multiple orthodontists. It gives you space to explain your observations.
So “Transverse discrepancy in posterior evidence by lingually tipped man molars” would be good observation points. I think we could consider adding that as an option on this case.
Nice work!
