    Managing Asymmetry with Dr. Svitlana Koval

    The conversation delves into the management of asymmetries during skeletal expansion, covering the understanding of asymmetries, their impact, and the factors contributing to their development. It also explores the correction of pre-existing dental velar asymmetry and stress distribution in appliance design. The conversation covers a comprehensive exploration of midfacial expansion, tooth movements, asymmetries, face mask use, and forces applied during treatment. Dr. Koval discusses the impact of expansion on smile alignment, tooth corrections, and the relationship between teeth and jaw position. She also addresses the stability of expansion, the use of face masks, and the forces applied to the midfacial complex. Takeaways Understanding the impact of asymmetries on facial expansionFactors contributing to the development of asymmetries Midfacial expansion impacts smile alignment and tooth corrections.Asymmetries are primarily dental and alveolar, easily corrected after expansion.

    Understand Symmetry causes with Dr. Svitlana Koval

    The Get Expanded community has reached a milestone of 200 members and is dedicated to bridging the gap between patients and providers for open, non-biased conversations on airway health. Dr. Svetlana Koval discusses asymmetries and their impact on treatment outcomes, emphasizing the need for understanding and addressing asymmetries before and during expansion. The conversation covers a detailed exploration of upper airway anatomy, asymmetries, expansion techniques, and treatment considerations. Dr. Koval provides insights into the impact of expansion on the upper airway, asymmetries in the nasal passages, and the role of the mandible in expansion procedures.
