Abstract

The management of transverse discrepancies has been universally recognized as one of the most challenging aspects of orthodontic therapy. Unfavourable sequel of this malocclusion predisposes a patient to periodontal involvement, functional problems and temporomandibular joint disturbances.

Bite plane “bite plate” or “bite block” are terms descriptive of a variety of devices that have been used for orthodontic treatment or to facilitate such treatment. As a general rule they are fabricated to fit the patient’s palate, but they may be designed to slip over the coronal portions of the teeth.
