Fan Shaped Expander for Narrow Arch- A Case Series
Transverse discrepancy can lead to various malocclusions so it should be treated as early as possible.Arch expansion is novel technique and to correct transverse discrepancy RME is more advantageous than SME as it brings skeletal and dental changes more rapidly.In some cases of narrow 'V' constricted arches use of standard RME can distrupt normal molar relations in posterior region so fan shaped RME is of greater significance.This case series shows changes produced by fan shaped expander and increase in intercanine width with minimal posterior changes.
