It is well documented in the literature that a contracted maxilla is commonly associated with
nasal obstruction. Midpalatal splitting using the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) technique …

Background Maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) in combination with miniscrews was
developed to overcome the drawbacks that may have resulted from the application of …

Many bones in mammalian skulls are linked together by cranial sutures, connective tissue
joints that are morphologically variable and show different levels of interdigitation among …

Introduction Orthodontic treatment of palatally impacted maxillary canines raises many
difficulties; to minimize complications, careful planning of orthodontic extrusion and the use …

Objective: To better understand the mechanics of bracket/archwire interaction through
analysis of force and couple distribution along the maxillary arch using elastic ligation and to …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the initial displacement of the upper dentition
and the nasomaxillary complex as a result of different directions of force application, and to …

This study of the average response to midpalatal suture opening revealed the following
significant results: 1. Maxillary expansion was effected in all fifty-six cases, but the older …

Aim The success of rapid maxillary expansion is hard to predict in patients from the age of
20. There are as yet no reliable parameters enabling us to define success or failure a priori …
