After briefly reviewing the literature concerning palatal expansion, a new technique combining surgical and medical orthodontic treatment is described. The technique, which entails detaching the nasal septum, is particularly appropriate in oral-breathing patients. Sixty-one patients (aged 10-32 years) were included in the study. The technique, which has low morbidity, gave good short- and long-term results.

Abstract
After briefly reviewing the literature concerning palatal expansion, a new technique combining surgical and medical orthodontic treatment is described. The technique, which entails detaching the nasal septum, is particularly appropriate in oral-breathing patients. Sixty-one patients (aged 10-32 years) were included in the study. The technique, which has low morbidity, gave good short- and long-term results.File in questo prodotto:
