Idiopathic Scoliosis and Orthodontic Treatment

Idiopathic Scoliosis and Orthodontic Treatment

Scoliotic pathology remains to this day little known, on the one hand in its etiologies but also in its various implications and possible associations. One of the notable questions found in the literature is concerned with the link between idiopathic scoliosis and the stomatognathic system. This question arises from the study of the anatomy and function of its two entities.

The aim of the study is to determine the frequency of orthodontic treatment in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, and to compare it with that of adolescents without spinal dysmorphism.
