“…After evaluating the full texts, we determined that 20 articles ful lled the inclusion criteria. Six articles were excluded because no measurements of the molars and/or canines expansion were reported ( Alcan and Ceylanoðlu, 2006 ;Garib et al , 2006 ;Tecco et al , 2007 ;Guilleminault et al , 2008 ;Lippold et al , 2008 ;Coelho et al , 2009 ). The article of Thilander and Lennartsson (2002) was excluded because the randomization was not valid for the reported investigation even if a valid randomization had been carried out in a previous study ( Thilander et al , 1984 ), already included in the research of Harrison and Ashby (2001) .…”

The aim of this study was to review recent randomized clinical trials (RCTs) dealing with the effectiveness of various modalities of orthopaedic/orthodontic expansion of maxillary arches with crossbite and the associated 6 month post retention stability. The study selection criteria included RCTs involving subjects with maxillary deficiency with crossbite, with no limits of age. The authors searched the following electronic databases from 1999 to January 2011: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, LILACS, and WEB of SCIENCE. The search strategy resulted in 12 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies did not meet major methodological requirements; some studies were not relevant because of small sample size, possible bias and unaccounted for confounding variables, lack of blinding in measurements, and deficient statistical methods. Treatment outcomes were different depending on the appliance used, tooth tissue-borne/tooth-borne expanders, bonded semi-rapid maxillary expansion (SRME), or rapid maxillary expansion (RME); in any case, methodological flaws prevent any sound conclusion. Stable results have been measured at the 6 month follow-up after removal of the retention plate in the treated groups in the maxillary intermolar and intercanine distances. Long-term stability results should be assessed. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement could be helpful in improving the reporting of RCTs.

“…This results in anterior crowding, presented as an infrapositioned canine, which leads to an upper midline shift toward the crowded side. [4] Reduced maxillary width can be corrected with maxillary expansion treatment. The treatment mechanics for the correction of midline discrepancies must be also planned to achieve the desired results without adverse side effects.…”

Simultaneous correction of functional posterior cross bite and midline shift

et al. 2016

The most frequent cause of functional posterior crossbite is the reduction in width of the maxillary dental arch. This posterior crossbite is associated with anterior crowding which is presented as an infrapositioned canine or a palatally positioned lateral incisor on one side; this leads to an upper midline shift toward the crowded side. The present case report shows the management of posterior crossbite with functional shift and upper midline shift simultaneously without adverse side effects. In this case, rapid maxillary expansion along with fixed appliance is used to correct posterior crossbite with the upper dental midline shift using reciprocal action of elastic transseptal fibers.
