Changes in the Pterygopalatine and Midpalatal Sutures After Rapid Palatal Expansion With Tooth‐Bone‐Borne ( <scp>MARPE</scp> ) and Tooth‐Borne (Hyrax) Appliances
While both techniques demonstrated the ability to disarticulate the PPS, MARPE exhibited a greater tendency for parallel MPS opening. The presence of PPS rupture may facilitate a more parallel expansion pattern, suggesting that PPS resistance could be a limiting factor in achieving symmetrical MPS separation.
