“…In most cases, it is accompanied by growth deficits in the anterior-posterior, lateral, transverse, and vertical directions [6,7]. The therapy for cleft palate requires teams of specialists from a variety of fields as well as many treatment phases [8]. Following maxillary surgery, the patient's capacity for transverse maxillary growth may be limited.…”

“…In comparison, the frequency of pre-foramen incisor clefts was 42.1%. Such dental abnormalities in children with clefts and maxillary hypoplasia lead to a variety of modifications in the vertical dimensions of the occlusions [8][9][10][11][12]. These include reverse overjet, class III malocclusion, anterior crossbite, and posterior crossbite.…”

“…A maxillary expansion treatment that is universally acknowledged as the standard of care is not yet available for patients with cleft palates. Although some orthodontists favor the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) technique, others opted for the slow maxillary expansion (SME) [8,17].…”

Objectives: To perform a comprehensive review of the literature to compare the effects of slow maxillary expansion (SME) and rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on maxillary arch width in patients with bilateral cleft palate. Methods: The databases include Medline, PubMed, Cochrane (CENTRAL) and (CDSR), OpenGrey, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for relevant studies that met the eligibility criteria published before or on 31 October 2022. The search was confined to the English language. The selection of eligible studies and collection of data were performed independently. Risk of bias assessment was conducted using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2.0. Results: Two randomized controlled trials were available based on the search in the published literature. Both studies compared arch width between SME and RME in cleft palate patients and digitals casts and three-dimensional images used for the evaluation. A moderate risk of bias was evident in the available studies. Conclusions: Both SME and RME can achieve similar amounts of maxillary expansion in patients with bilateral cleft palate.
