ABSTRACT
Posterior Crossbite is a common condition resulting because of transverse maxillary deficiency. The growth of the craniofacial complex finishes first in the transverse dimension, followed by sagittal and vertical dimensions. Conventional rapid palatal expansion (RPE) appliances are commonly used to correct transverse maxillary deficiency. Although RPE is efficient in correcting posterior crossbite, it results in dental side effects such as buccal tipping of maxillary molars, root resorption, bone dehiscence, and relapse. Mini-implant-assisted RPE has been introduced to increase the skeletal effects of expansion especially in patients with increased maturation and greater interdigitation of midpalatal suture. This article will review the biomechanics of RPE and mini-implant-assisted RPE. Additionally, the different designs of MARPE and the long-term clinical effects of expansion appliances will also be discussed in detail.
