Skeletal, Dentoalveolar, Dental, and Soft-Tissue Effects Following MARPE Treatment: A Review — Table 3

1

MARPE effectively corrects maxillary transverse deficiency in young adults, achieving significant skeletal and dental expansion.
2

The maxillary expansion pattern with MARPE is pyramidal, with skeletal, alveolar, and dental expansions of 37.0%, 22.2%, and 40.7%, respectively.
3

Significant decreases in buccal alveolar bone thickness and crest height occur after MARPE, necessitating careful monitoring by orthodontists.
4

Age, palatal length, and MSE are critical predictors of MARPE success, while the vertical skeletal pattern showed no significant correlations.
5

Both MARPE and RPE significantly increase airway volumes, but long-term differences in airway parameters are minimal among treatment groups.
