Abstract
A common maxillary abnormality is the transverse deficiency, which can contribute to development of malocclusions such as posterior crossbite. Treatment can be done with either rapid palatal expansion in children (RPE) and surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion appliances in adults for this type of malocclusion in adults. There is evidence that Miniscrew rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) can be used as a non-surgical treatment for this type of malocclusion after the pubertal growth spurt for maxillary expansion. This article is aimed to review the therapeutic results of the MARPE technique. The maxillary expansion occurs with a high rate of success with MARPE technique. The skeletal expansion is higher with MARPE than RPE. MARPE technique has been put forth as a treatment modality for the correction of transverse maxillary abnormality in adults, but it can also be used effectively in patients under the age of 14 years.
