Highlights
- •The success rate of the midpalatal suture separation by MARPE was 84-87%.
- •Bone density, suture maturation, and complexity are predictors of successful expansion.
- •Long-term stability of MARPE needs to be investigated more.
Abstract
The miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) has extended not only skeletal
effects with fewer dental changes and but also the age limit of nonsurgical maxillary
expansion treatment. Amid its gaining popularity in clinical orthodontics, our current
understanding of treatment effectiveness, efficiency, and stability needs to be reassessed.
In this review article, the authors have attempted to evaluate MARPE from various
aspects with a focus on recent studies.
