Expansion appliances to correct malocclusion: Case reports Case Series
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This case series examines the use of both type of expansion appliances (Slow and Rapid) in treating various malocclusions. It includes patients with Class I malocclusion accompanied by bimaxillary protrusion, as well as Class III malocclusion with a history of cleft lip and palate. The series features both removable and fixed appliances used to correct malocclusions, with and without functional shifts. This case series aims to offer practitioners, particularly paediatric dentists valuable insights into managing similar cases using these techniques.
