Abstract :
Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) has revolutionized the treatment of maxillary transverse
deficiency in non-growing patients. By utilizing temporary anchorage devices (TADs), MARPE achieves skeletal expansion
while minimizing the dental side effects seen in traditional RPE. However, the proximity to the mid-palatal suture and nasal
floor introduces specific post-operative challenges. This review categorizes common complications and provides evidencebased management protocols for the orthodontic clinician.
