Abstract
An adequate maxillary transverse dimension is a critical component of a stable occlu-sion. Various methods, including rapid palatal expansion (RPE), can be used to achieve dental and orthopedic maxillary expansion in grow-ing patients.1 Unfortunately, howev-er, the use of RPE after the peak pubertal growth spurt will produce more dental than skeletal expan-sion—about 62% vs. 38% of the total expansion2—resulting in buccal tip-ping of the molars.3-5.
