Abstract
Fifty subjects who were followed longitudinally between 13 and 18 year s showed an average increase in lower arch crowding of 2.36 mm. This i ncrease in crowding was examined in relation to tooth width, arch widt h and jaw width, actual and relative, and to changes in-these dimensio ns with correlation and multiple regression analyses. No relationship was found between width dimensions and late crowding in the lower arch .
