Fig. 8From: Skeletal and alveolar changes in conventional rapid palatal expansion (RPE) and miniscrew-assisted RPE (MARPE): a prospective randomized clinical trial using low-dose CBCTDiagram of transverse change of the maxillary first premolars at each timepoint in the coronal section. Values are the mean differences (mm). a RPE, b MARPE; RPE, rapid palatal expansion; MARPE, mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion; T0, before treatment; T1, immediately after expansion; T2, after a 3-month consolidation periodBack to article page
