Synopsis

Expansion is a tempting means of gaining space with the added advantage of being a conservative procedure. It has been stated that posterior crossbites appear at fairly constant rate in malocclusion. It is a common clinical condition often associated with transverse maxillary deficiency and functional mandibular shift. This implies that this abnormality develops early and is not self-correcting. Expansion can be done in an transverse direction, sagittal direction or a combination. The orthodontist in thistherapeutic armamentarium has several effective expansion appliances, which may be removable, semi-fixed or fixed. This book is an attempt to create a better understanding of expansion as an important part of orthodontic treatment modality which can be a very valid solution to many space problems during treatment.
