The cranial strain known as torsion does not fit within the Angle Classification. This strain is described and how to identify it. Torsion may occur as the only strain or is more commonly superimposed on another strain. Recognizing the presence of a torsion has a significant bearing on treatment sequencing. An approach to treatment is demonstrated.

This article describes the Inferior Vertical Cranial Strain, one of the seven possible cranial strains that are discussed in this series of articles. Clinicians have to understand cranial strains to better treat their patients. There is a major link between the malocclusion we see and the underlying physiology of the patients. With airway restriction, it is necessary to understand the cranial, postural and facial factors as well as the soft tissue contribution for a more effective overall treatment of the patient.

These two cases have been chosen to illustrate the very considerable potential for change once the cranial lesions have been identified and their correction is planned as part of treatment.
