Dental Arches Expansion With Ortho-System

Published by: Dental Asia (March/April 2006)

Maxillary and mandibular expansion has been proposed to increase the arch perimeter and to avoid extractions during orthodontic treatment. This paper describes a novel method to produce expansion of the dental arches, and at the same time, to treat muscular dysfunctions which may be the etiological factor of the malocclusion. Two cases treated with the Ortho-System are described and the advantage of this method of treatment is discussed.
