Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion using customized bone-borne devices.

Correction of maxillary compression via palatal expansion is easy in children and adolescents, but more complicated once growth is finished. This correction may be performed by progressive expansion using orthopaedic appliances after osteotomy with more stable results, which facilitate a second phase to achieve larger expansions. We present a clinical case treated using a customized device that improves predictability. The stability of the device is ensured by multiple support points with 8 screws that fix it to the palate. Key words: Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion, stereolithographic model, customized, bone-borne, expansion device.
