Innovative Study Compares Modified MARPE and RPE for Molar Distalization in Class II Malocclusion Patients

Posted: January 13, 2025
The study compared the treatment effects of modified miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) and rapid palatal expander (RPE) with distalizers in Class II malocclusion patients. Both methods showed maxillary molar distalization, with MARPE resulting in greater distalization without molar tipping compared to RPE. This highlights the potential of nonextraction treatment with maxillary expansion and molar distalization for Class II malocclusion patients with a narrow maxillary arch.
