RAPID MAXILLARY EXPANSION IN DIFFERENT AGE-GROUPS: A CASE-SERIES PRESENTATION
This paper presents a series of cases on rapid palatal expansion in patients with narrowing of the maxilla at various age periods and discusses the criteria for choosing one or another type of maxillary dilatation. These clinical cases focus on the features of the treatment of narrowing of the upper jaws, depending on the structure of the hard palate and the age of the patients. In early replacement bite, as a rule, devices with dental fixation are used, in late replacement and permanent bite, skeletal support devices can be used until growth is complete, whereas in adult patients, after the formation of the palatine suture is completed, a combined protocol with surgical assistance or corticotomy is used to expand the upper jaw. This case-series with a step-by-step demonstration of the application of modern methods of correction of transversal anomalies using individual devices based on mini-implants can be used as an educational material in the training of orthodontists.
