Preliminary design of an automated rapid maxillary expander for dento-facial application

The objective of maxillary expansion is to correct maxillo mandibular transverse discrepancies by skeletal (orthopedic) expansion of the maxilla while avoiding any dental side effects. [1]. For a rapid maxillary expansion (RME) device, the expansion of maxilla is accomplished through heavy forc...
