Introduction: Orthodontics has gone through remarkable advances for those who practice it with dignity and clinical quality, such as the unprecedented number of patients treated of some type of iatrogenic problems (post-treatment root resorptions; occlusal plane changes; midline discrepancies, asymmetries, etc). Several questions may raise useful reflections about the constant increase of iatrogenics. What is causing it? Does it occur when dentists are properly trained? In legal terms, how can dentists accept these patients? How should they be orthodontically treated? What are the most common problems? Objective: This study analyzed and discussed relevant aspects to understand patients with iatrogenic problems and describe a simple and efficient approach to treat complex cases associated with orthodontic iatrogenics.
INTRODUÇÃO: Atualmente, existem controvérsias quanto às terapias usadas para o tratamento da deficiência transversal da maxila em adultos, como a expansão rápida da maxila (ERM), a expansão rápida da maxila assistida cirurgicamente (ERMAC) e a expansão rápida da maxila ancorada em mini-implantes (MARPE). OBJETIVO: O presente artigo tem como objetivo relatar o caso clínico de uma paciente adulta tratada por meio de ERM, e mostrar os efeitos dessa terapia que dispensa etapas cirúrgicas.
