Upper midline deviation: modified Hyrax expander.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The Hyrax rapid palatal expander is useful for patients in mixed dentition with premature exfoliation of some deciduous teeth and maxillary hypoplasia. This appliance, which is provided of a vestibular arm for correcting maxillary asymmetric transverse discrepancies, represents an interceptive treatment able to reduce the duration of the orthodontic therapy with fixed appliances. CASE REPORT In this case report the modified version of the Hyrax rapid palatal expander is described. The activation method, the therapeutic benefits as well as the clinical advantages are described.

Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion for managing arch perimeter in an adult patient
Introduction: Etiology of dental crowding may be related to arch constriction in diverse dimensions, and an appropriate manipulation of arch perimeter by intervening in basal bone discrepancies cases, may be a key for crowding relief, especially when incisors movement is limited due to underlying pathology, periodontal issues or restrictions related to soft tissue profile. Objectives: This c...
متن کاملStress and displacement pattern evaluation using two different palatal expanders in unilateral cleft lip and palate: a three-dimensional finite element analysis
BACKGROUND In this finite element (FE) study, the stress distribution and displacement pattern was evaluated in the mid-palatal area and around circum-maxillary sutures exerted by bone-borne palatal expander (BBPE) in comparison with conventional HYRAX rapid palatal expander in unilateral cleft lip and palate. METHODS Computed tomography scan images of a patient with unilateral cleft palate w...
متن کاملDigital evaluation of nasal changes induced by rapid maxillary expansion with different anchorage and appliance design
BACKGROUND Scientific evidence showed that rapid maxillary expansion (RME) affects naso-maxillary complex, increasing nasal width and volume. This study aimed to evaluate nasal changes induced by rapid maxillary expansion with different anchorage and appliance design by using low dose and cone beam computed tomography. METHODS A total of 44 patients (20 males, mean age 8y 8 m ± 1y 2 m; 24 fem...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dental changes in the maxillae of patients with clefts treated with 3 expanders: hyrax, fan-type, and inverted mini-hyrax supported on the first premolars. METHODS Thirty patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate with transverse maxillary deficiency were divided into 3 groups, according to the type of expander that th...
متن کاملTwo-point rapid palatal expansion: an alternate approach to traditional treatment.
Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) causes separation of the lateral halves of the palate and traditionally has used four maxillary teeth as anchorage. The purpose of this study was to introduce a rapid palatal expander that requires only two anchor teeth (two-point RPEe) and to compare the expansion obtained with that from a Hyrax appliance. This study involved two groups of 25 children aged 7 to 15...
