Treatment outcomes of 3D-printed custom and conventional mini-implant assisted rapid palatal expanders (MARPE)

Custom 3D-printed MARPE appliances may offer advantages in achieving skeletal expansion in older patients. Individualized appliance design and strategic mini-implant placement could contribute to effective treatment. However, further research is needed to evaluate long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and potential complications to better guide appliance selection for each patient.

Abstract

Custom 3D-printed MARPE appliances may offer advantages in achieving skeletal expansion in older patients. Individualized appliance design and strategic mini-implant placement could contribute to effective treatment. However, further research is needed to evaluate long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and potential complications to better guide appliance selection for each patient.
