“…24 Though MARPE has many advantages, there are few drawbacks, such as being very technique sensitive, patient discomfort due to bulky appliances, patient co-operation for regular activation, and difficulty maintaining oral hygiene. 25 The study had limitations such as small sample size and only short-term effects were considered. A study with larger sample size is needed to understand the complete dynamics of the expansion of MARPE and evaluate the reproducibility of the results and its long-term stability.…”

Introduction -Transverse discrepancies of the maxilla are one of the most prevalent skeletal problems. Due to drawbacks of conventional RPE and invasive surgical expansion methods alternative methods were developed such as Mini Implant-supported rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE).Haas17 , Davis and Kronman18, Akkaya et al19 and many other studies have reported the maxillary response after MARPE on the sagittal dimensions, but their results were inconclusive. Aim - This study analyzed the effects on the maxilla in the sagittal dimension after Mini Implant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in adolescents using CBCT. Material and method -A pretreatment CBCT image (T1) was taken as a standard initial record for all patients and post treatment CBCT (T2) was taken after three months in retention. The parameters SNA angle, Frankfort horizontal plane to NA angle, A-N perpendicular, ANS –PNS were measured and calculated for evaluation of the sagittal maxillary changes. Comparisons were then made between the two treatment groups (T1, T2). Result -There was a positive increase in both angular and linear measurements from pretreatment to post treatment measurements showing significant skeletal changes in sagittal dimension. Conclusion -The study concludes that there was statistically significant forward displacement of maxilla after transverse skeletal expansion in patients with transverse problems achieved through MARPE in adolescent patients.

To analyze the current literature in order to compare the outcome of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances versus aligners in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. An electronic search was undertaken through PubMed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. This literature review was carried out according to the PRISMA criteria (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The risk of bias in included studies was assessed using the Cochrane ROB-2 tool. Ten articles were retained. Some heterogeneity of the results was noted and it remains difficult to come up with clear and consensual clinical recommendations. It seems that the aligners were as effective as a fixed orthodontic treatment on class 1 malocclusions, but, some dental movements remain difficult to control like vertical movements and rotation. Conversely, the aligners are increasingly favored by patients, for esthetic and comfort reasons. This review shows that the future of aligners is very promising. Studies comparing fixed orthodontics and aligners have shown that each has its own specificities. A precise diagnosis, knowledge of biomechanics, and the limits of each means are the conditions required to achieve a result in line with the initial treatment objectives.
