Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 06/17/09
Gupta N et al. - Adenoid hypertrophy is a normal phenomenon seen in young children. When adenoids are large and producing these effects, adenoidectomy is necessary. Adenoidectomy immensely benefits such patients but they may still continue to be habitual mouth breathers. This can lead to formation of long narrow face, labially protruded maxillary incisors and class 2 malocclusion. Immediate orthodontic treatment of such patients will improve facial profile and lead to class 1 occlusion.
