Innovative Case Report: Managing Crossbites with MARPE and Lingual Appliances in Adult Class III Malocclusion

Posted: December 6, 2024
This case report showcases a successful management of anterior and posterior crossbites using a combination of lingual appliances and miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in an adult patient with class III malocclusion and maxillary constriction. By utilizing a modified workflow that involves a single digital impression for fabrication and positioning, the treatment effectively corrected the discrepancies, enhanced dental and facial esthetics, and achieved partial skeletal correction. The approach of combining MARPE with lingual appliances offers a promising option for nonsurgical and esthetic treatment of adult class III malocclusion with maxillary constriction, emphasizing the importance of optimal expansion retention and accuracy in appliance placement for successful outcomes.
