The effectiveness of the basal expansion plate in comparison with the traditional expansion plate during the slow maxillary expansion: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlthough slow maxillary expansion is commonly used, numerous studies have demonstrated that the increase in dental arch width is primarily due to buccal tipping of the lateral teeth, often accompanied by recession of the vestibular alveolar process. This
