Correction of Transverse Maxillary Deficiency and Angles Class II Div 1 Subdivision Malocclusion Using Microimplant-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) and Fixed Orthodontic Therapy: A Case Report
Abstract: Microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) employs miniscrews to facilitate skeletal palatal expansion, thereby increasing the maxillary arch perimeter and creating additional space within the dental arch.We report a case of a 23-year 10 months-old female with an Angle Class II, division 1 subdivison malocclusion with constricted maxillary and mandibular arches. The patient?s main complaint was maxillary and mandibular anterior crowding. The treatment plan included expansion of the maxillary arch using a MARPE appliance and mandibular arch with 2x6 appliance, in combination with a full-fixed appliance to align and level the crowded maxillary and mandibular teeth, along with midline and molar relation correction. A successful non-extraction orthodontic treatment was accomplished after 22 months, and the occlusion and teeth alignment, as well as facial goals, were resolved in a clinically satisfactory manner.
