Abstract

Maxillary transverse insufficiency usually requires expansion of palate with a combination of orthopedic and orthodontic tooth movements. Four different types of maxillary expansion procedures are used: slow maxillary expansion (SME), rapid maxillary expansion (RME), miniscrew assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARME), surgically assisted maxillary expansion (SARME). This article aims to review the maxillary expansion by all the rapid maxillary expansion modalities and a brief discussion on commonly used appliances.
