Abstract
Background
This study aimed to compare three-dimensional displacements of the maxilla and mandible, and upper airway changes, following tooth-borne rapid palatal expansion (TB-RPE) (Hyrax) and tooth-bone-borne miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (TBB-MARPE). Additionally, the correlation between skeletal movements and upper airway changes was evaluated.
