Abstract

Transverse maxillary deficiency is one of several common craniofacial structure characteristics observed in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Conventional maxillary expander treatment has been used in children with OSA to expand constricted maxilla to increase nasal flow and to allow the tongue to protrude forward and upward. With the introduction of temporary skeletal anchorage devices, orthodontists have utilized miniscrews to secure a maxillary expander on the palate directly in order to achieve more efficient skeletal expansion and to decrease undesired dentoalveolar effects in skeletally mature patients. This chapter discusses various miniscrew-anchored RME expansion designs and protocols with or without corticotomy as a pathway to achieving maximum improvement of OSA.
