A new device for rapid expansion of the maxillary arch in cleft palate patients, is described. Its main advantages are that it is designed to prevent uncontrolled relapse while the expansion screw is changed and while a retaining arch is fabricated. The buccal retaining arch leaves the alveolus and cleft accessible for surgery.
