Relationships between changes in arch perimeter and arch width resulting from rapid palatal expansion with the Hyrax appliance were analyzed with the use of dental study casts of 21 adolescent patients. Photographs and measurements from the dental casts obtained before treatment and approximately 3 months after stabilization were used. Regression analysis indicated that changes in premolar width were highly predictive of changes in arch perimeter (r2 = 0.69) at approximately 0.7 times the premolar expansion. Without any orthodontic appliances attached to the mandibular teeth in 16 of the 21 patients, buccal uprighting of the posterior teeth was observed because of the redirection of occlusal forces. In addition, posterior movement of the maxillary incisors and buccal tipping of the anchor teeth were quantified. The prediction of arch perimeter change for a given amount of expansion is helpful in the treatment planning of rapid palatal expansion cases and may facilitate nonextraction orthodontic treatment.

D008310 Malocclusion Such malposition and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth as to interfere with the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.

D008437 Maxilla One of a pair of irregularly shaped bones that form the upper jaw. A maxillary bone provides tooth sockets for the superior teeth, forms part of the ORBIT, and contains the MAXILLARY SINUS. Maxillae,Maxillary Bone,Bone, Maxillary,Bones, Maxillary,Maxillary Bones,Maxillas
D010155 Palatal Expansion Technique An orthodontic method used for correcting narrow or collapsed maxillary arches and functional cross-bite.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
