CT scan study reveals possible link between nose and jaw problems
NCT ID NCT07579091
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined CT scans from 223 adults to see if a deviated nasal septum (a crooked wall inside the nose) is related to a narrow upper jaw (maxillary transverse deficiency). The goal was to understand if these two conditions are connected, which could help doctors decide whether to treat both problems at the same time. The study did not involve any treatment; it simply looked at existing scans to gather information.
