“…They acknowledge that orthodontic palatal expansion allows or enables the mandible to be positioned or postured forward, which increases oral muscle tone. This, together with firmer contractions of the tongue and facial muscles when swallowing, may provide advantages for tubal function [61][62][63].…”

Crowding, protrusion, and class II or end-on occlusion are malocclusions frequently associated with a narrow transverse dimension. The goal of expansion is to reduce the need for extractions in permanent dentition through elimination of arch length discrepancies as well as correction of bony base imbalances. Gaining arch length makes the subsequent fixed appliance treatment easier and shorter. Palatal expansion is usually achieved by using fixed rapid maxillary expansion, but because of the complexity, cost, and increased laboratory steps, this step is sometimes omitted. We have modified the design and screw activation protocol of the removable Schwarz plate in such a way that it gives efficient and stable expansion as well as arch perimeter gain with simpler mechanics. We present the long-term results of 10 such cases treated with this modified expander followed by fixed appliances.

“…While describing the semi-rapid maxillary expansion, an expansion by 1-1.5mm per week, which corresponds to slightly more than 1/8 cycle per day, was recommended and a turning program slightly more than 1/8 cycle per day was offered (46). Mew (32) termed his study, where he achieved 1mm expansion per week, the procedure as semi-rapid or -slow maxillary expansion.…”

Transversal constriction of the maxilla is a common problem and may occur due to many reasons.The maxillary expansion procedures can be classified as rapid maxillary expansion (RME), semi-rapid maxillary expansion (SRME), and slow maxillary expansion (SME). In orthodontic treatment prosodure, it has been evaluated that it causes root resorption especially in the support teeth in many apparatus used for orthodontic treatment and in the expansion apparatus used in the treatment of transverse direction of maxilla. In this review, we aimed to evaluate maxiller expansion protocols and the methods of examining resorption in support teeth. How to cite this article: Topal R, Gündüz Arslan S.
