2024年9月19日 · Mini-Implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander (MARPE): Used for older teens and adults, it employs mini-implants in the maxillary bone for anchorage. Removable RPEs: Schwarz Appliance: A removable device with a central screw, typically used for less severe cases.

The Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) is a popular orthopedic appliance used to separate the mid palatal suture. Rapid expansion is obtained over a two to three week period by means of turning the expansion screw once a day.

The Mini expander is an all metal expansion appliance typically providing sutural separation. This expander preserves more tongue space than standard size screws, reduces tissue impingement allows easier access for hygiene, and provides greater comfort for the patient.

To evaluate the long-term effects of mini-screw–assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE), rapid palatal expansion (RPE), and controls on the nasal cavity with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). A total of 180 CBCT scans that were part of a ...

The Compact RPE is a low profile expander. With its compact body, it provides excellent stability and increased patient comfort. It activates the same way a standard expansion screw does with the provided blue swivel key.

In most situations, tooth-borne appliances produce adverse effects such as buccal tipping of the lateral teeth, imposing the risk of recessions and vestibular bone fenestrations. To overcome these drawbacks, an RPE appliance was developed that utilizes mini-implants anteriorly in the palate for skeletal anchorage.

This study aimed to systematically analyze the effect and stability of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of patients with maxillary transverse deficiency (MTD).

2023年11月20日 · Non-surgical mini-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion, or midfacial skeletal expansion, is a paradigm-shifting concept that in recent years has expanded the envelope of orthopedic movement in the transverse direction for adult patients.

2021年3月1日 · Randomized (RCT) and non-randomized (Non-RCT) prospective studies that assessed the influence of the mini-screw-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) approach on airway and breathing in young children and adolescents were included.

Memory Screw RPE. The new line of memory screw expanders puts the control back in the clinician’s hands. Once the Memory screw is activated 4-to-5 turns the Niti coil springs that are built into the screw become active. The Niti coil springs then provide light continuous forces for biocompatible arch development.
