Abstract

Conventional methods of rapid maxillary expansion using rigid mechanisms are not appropriate to patients with cleft lip and palate in whom there has been severe growth deficiency in the lateral dimension. In such patients, much more expansion is usually needed in the canine regions than in the molar regions. A method is described for producing differential rapid maxillary expansion in such patients.
