Temporary Skeletal Anchorage Devices

Abstract

Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) can cause significant periodontal consequences. Alternatives to traditional tooth-anchored RPE have been developed in an effort to offset these side effects. Bone-anchored RPE with support from miniscrew implants takes advantages over tooth-anchored RPE, as the expanders are directly attached to the posterior teeth. There are a few variations that can be used in different types of cases. Bone-anchored RPE without surgery can be an alternative to surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion in young adults.
