Abstract
It was a pleasure reading the article “Age-related changes in the effect of rapid maxillary expansion on the position of labially impacted maxillary canines: A case-control study” (Harada-Karashima M, Ishihara Y, Kamioka H, Kanomi R. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021;159:305-11). Age-related changes in the effect of rapid maxillary expansion on the position of labially impacted maxillary canines: A case-control studyAmerican Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsVol. 159Issue 3PreviewThe early diagnosis and interception of potential maxillary canine impaction is the most desirable approach for correcting their path of eruption. However, there is still a lack of evidence regarding the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on labially impacted canines. This study aimed to investigate the age-related effect of RME on labially impacted maxillary canines in order to reduce the risk of their impaction in the mixed dentition and to examine the proper timing of interceptive treatment.
