Abstract

Constricted maxillary arch is one of the most common problems faced by an Orthodontist while treating young as well as adult patients. Maxillary expansion occupies a unique niche in dentofacial therapy and it has been a topic of debate since centuries. Slow maxillary expansion, rapid maxillary expansion and surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) are the commonly used methods for maxillary expansion. Slow maxillary expansion is a procedure to expand the maxillary arch in transverse dimension to correct the constricted maxillary arch with light forces. This review article provides detailed information about various slow maxillary expansion appliances with their implications in orthodontics.
