- Effects of rapid maxillary expansion on nasal cavity: an evidence-based analysisPublication . Grislain, Marie Anne Christine; Gião, AnaToday, rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a practice commonly used by orthodontists. It corrects transverse deficiencies of the palate by separating the mid-palatal suture. However, RME does not only influence the palate. There are consequences on the anatomic components of the face including the nasal cavity. A literature search was performed, in the databases such PubMed, Sage Journals, Trip Database, Science Direct and Research Gate, of articles published between 2012 and 2020, in English. The present systematic review of the literature aims to assess the recent scientific evidence concerning the effects of RME on the nasal cavity and the consequences on the respiratory function. Regardless of the means of radiological evaluation used, the results are all the same: the nasal cavity expands. However, the results on the effects of respiratory function differ depending on additional means of assessment such as rhinomanometry. It is this difference that will be discussed.
