“…24 The difference in pain perception with the same screw activation protocol of two quarter per day between teeth-borne appliance and bone-borne appliance is not clinically significant. 25,26 Regarding the quantity and quality of maxillary expansion some authors found that skeletal OMI devices are better and more effective, while others found no differences. In any case, skeletal devices were found to present a better hygiene control and less premolar tipping.…”

Rapid Palatal Expansion Should Not Be Trivialized: Two Case Reports of Unexpected Complications

Rapid maxillary expansion is one of the most common orthodontic procedures performed in the pediatric population, easy to accomplish and compliance free, therefore really effective. Nevertheless, a careful diagnosis and frequent clinical follow-up appointments are necessary during the first weeks of active treatment. The purpose of this article was to report two cases of unexpected complications during orthopaedic maxillary expansion, involving two 7-year-old female patients, one presenting a saddle nose with suborbital hematoma and the other one an asymmetric palatal expansion. In both cases, the clinical situation progressively relapsed during the months following expansion appliance removal.

“…A bilateral crossbite of skeletal origin is characterized by abnormalities in the growth and development of the nasomaxillary structures [1]. Maxillary disjunction or expansion is an orthopedic treatment involving the separation of the palatal suture that joins the maxilla with other bone structures of the skeleton [3,4]. Rapid maxillary expansion is frequently used to correct maxillary compression, posterior crossbite, and arch perimeter expansion, and to alleviate dental crowding, among other changes, that occur in the circum maxillary structures [3].…”

“…It was described in 1860 by Angell and introduced to the United States in 1950 by Hass. Several devices and treatment protocols have been developed, but the most common is the rapid maxillary expander [3,4].…”

“…Maxillary expansion is usually performed with various types of devices, such as those that rest on the teeth with bands (such as the Hyrax-type appliance), those that are cemented with acrylic tracks on the occlusal surfaces (such as the McNamara appliance), and those that involve a mixture of tooth and palatal gum support (such as the Hass appliance) [3].…”

Maxillary Skeletal Expansion with the Assistance of Ortho Implants: A Clinical Case Report

et al. 2021

Introduction: The maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) with the assistance of ortho implants is used to perform rapid palatal expansion in patients who are no longer growing. This case report describes a 15-year-old boy with a bilateral posterior crossbite caused by transverse maxillary deficiency. Methods: A 10-mm MSE was placed with four ortho implants. The MSE was activated once per day for 20 days. Subsequently, a fixed appliance (MBT) was placed as corrective treatment. Results: An approximate expansion of 8 mm was achieved using the MSE. The posterior crossbite was corrected by increasing the transverse dimensions of the maxilla. An adequate inter-arch relationship similar to the class I molar and canine relationships was achieved, as were a 2-mm overjet and 2-mm overbite. Conclusions: The use of the MSE with the assistance of ortho implants is an alternative method of treatment that can be beneficial for patients who are no longer growing. This method avoids the use of surgical expansion and is less invasive, more economical, and more comfortable for the patient.
