Rapid Maxillary Expansion: A Review
Arch expansion is a method of gaining space. An apparently complex yet relatively simple procedure in orthodontics is Palatal expansion. The correction of transverse maxillary deficiency can be an important component of an orthodontic treatment plan. Rapid Maxillary expansion (RME) is a skeletal type of expansion that involves the separation of the mid-

Effects of rapid-slow maxillary expansion on the dentofacial structures
To date, no study has determined if rapid followed by slow maxillary expansion (also termed ‘semi-rapid’ expansion) has the same effects on the dentofacial skeleton as rapid maxillary expansion.

Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion as A Treatment for Maxillary Expansion in Adults
Transverse Maxillary Deficiency is a common dental malocclusion that usually presents as constricted maxilla with both functional as well as esthetic effects on the individual suffering from it.

Dimensional Changes of Upper Airway after Rapid Maxillary Expansion: A Prospective Cone-beam Computed Tomography Study [PDF]
Introduction: The aim of this prospective study was to use cone-beam computed tomography to assess the dimensional changes of the upper airway in orthodontic patients with maxillary constriction treated by rapid maxillary expansion.

Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME): An Otolaryngologic Perspective
Background. To evaluate the possible effects of Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME), such as nasal breathing problems, middle ear function, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the otolaryngology field. RME has already been introduced in orthodontics to expand the maxilla of young patients affected by transversal maxillary constriction. Methods.

Nasal cavity changes and the respiratory standard after maxillary expansion
Summary: Mandibular cross-sectional deficiency is a dentofacial defect in connection with the narrowing of the mandibular arch width. This abnormality is a significant etiopathogenic factor and it is often associated with nasal breathing difficulties ...

Maxillary expansion in an animal model with light, continuous force [PDF]
Objectives: Maxillary constriction is routinely addressed with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the heavy forces delivered by most RME appliances to expand the palate may lead to deleterious effects on the teeth and supporting tissues.
