Abstract

Vertical dysplasia in pediatric patients is divided into vertical overgrowth dysplasia and vertical growth deficiency dysplasia. Although it is still debated when to start treating vertical dysplasia, recently, there has been increasing interest in treating vertical dysplasia that sometimes accompanies cases of sagittal or transverse dysplasia. The clinical picture of vertical overgrowth dysplasia is generally manifested by a large anterior facial height, especially in the one-third anterior lower part of the face, sometimes accompanied by an anterior open bite. Treatment of children with vertical dysplasia, especially those with excessive vertical dysplasia, should be done early so the disorder does not get worse and can take advantage of the existing growth potential.
