Rapid maxillary expander vs planas expansion plates
One of the most frequent issues in orthodontics is the contraction of the maxilla, sometimes associated with unilateral or bilateral cross-bite. Correcting the transverse diameters of the maxillary arch can be achieved through various devices, both ...
