Narrowing of the upper jaw can lead to crossbite, high arch palate, restricted nasal breathing, deflecting the mandible in occlusion and later also its asymmetric growth. It often occurs to limit the growth of the lower jaw, overbite of the upper incisors and unaesthetic facial profile.

The tapered upper dental arch is sometimes associated with the small size of the upper jaw. Lower jaw then goes beyond in all dimensions (the so-called. Pseudoprogenie)
