Longitudinal stability of rapid and slow maxillary expansion [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the longitudinal stability of two types of posterior crossbite correction: rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and slow maxillary expansion (SME).METHODS: Study casts of 90 adolescent patients were assessed for interdental width changes at three different periods: pretreatment (T1), post ...

Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME): An Otolaryngologic Perspective. [PDF]
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.

eRME - Rapid Maxillary Expansion in the economic way
Rapid Maxillary Expansion constitutes a routine clinical procedure in orthodontics, involving separation of mid-palatine suture which is usually done with help of the Hyrax screw. However, because of its high cost, the use has been limited, especially in institutions.

TREATMENT MODALITIES OF SKELETAL MAXILLARY DEFICIENCY: A REVIEW [PDF]
Maxillary constriction can be skeletal, dental or a combination of both. The expansion of the midpalatal suture is used to treat maxillary width deficiencies; it is performed through rapid maxillary expansion, used in children and adolescents and ...

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.
