Abstract :
Arch expansion is a method of gaining space.
An apparently complex yet relatively simple procedure in
orthodontics is Palatal expansion. The correction of
transverse maxillary deficiency can be an important
component of an orthodontic treatment plan. Rapid
Maxillary expansion (RME) is a skeletal type of expansion
that involves the separation of the mid-palatal suture and
movement of the maxillary shelves away from each other.
RME effects the maxillary complex, palatal vaults,
maxillary anterior and posterior teeth, adjacent
periodontal structures to bring about an expansion in the
maxillary arch. The majority of dental transverse
measurements changed significantly as a result of RME.
This review article provides detailed information about
rapid maxillary expansion and the appliances used
commonly for RME.
