About this study

Transverse maxillary deficiency is a common orthodontic issue, affecting around 10% of adults. Late adolescents and adults often require more force to expand the midpalatal suture due to its increased interdigitation. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of MARPE in this demographic and determine the best activation protocol for non-surgical maxillary expansion using mini-screw-supported appliances. Additionally, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of MARPE on nasal permeability and airway volume.
