This case report describes the treatment of a 16-year-old girl with a unilateral posterior buccal crossbite, a unilateral Class II molar relationship, and a maxillary right canine high in the labial sulcus. The treatment plan included surgically assisted unilateral maxillary expansion for the correction of the buccal crossbite, with simultaneous dentoalveolar distraction of the maxillary right canine into the extraction space of the first premolar aided by skeletal anchorage. Reduced orthodontic treatment time was facilitated by these 2 surgical procedures. A pleasing esthetic result and a good functional occlusion were achieved in 13 months.

Objective: The focus of this report was to analyze the pattern of maxillary expansion and complications in patients following surgical and non-surgical maxillary expansion presented for evaluation and second opinion.

Materials And Methods: During a 30-months period, 28 patients presented for second opinion following maxillary expansion performed elsewhere. The indication for treatment was obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment typically lasts 18-24 months, but depending on the conditions, it can take a longer duration. In recent years, accelerated orthodontics has been the subject of extensive research to shorten the duration of treatment. In distraction osteogenesis (DO), the surgically created joints are slowly and controllably displaced over time by gradual traction.

Objective: To compare the treatment outcomes and effectiveness of Anterior Maxillary Distraction (AMD) with the LeFort I Osteotomy and Total Maxillary Distraction Osteogenesis (TMDO) to treat cleft maxillary hypoplasia.

Methods: (PROSPERO CRD42020223345) Thorough electronic search of seven databases, unpublished gray literature, and a hand search of the relevant studies reference lists was done. Studies assessing mid-facial skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft-tissue outcomes of AMD in patients >8 years of age, hypoplastic cleft maxilla, and with either TMDO/LeFort 1/ both as control groups were included.

Treatment of ankylosed and submerged primary molars without permanent successors is challenging, as normal vertical dentoalveolar growth is compromised. Thus, grafting techniques and distraction osteogenesis are performed for ridge augmentation before implant restoration. However, these techniques are invasive with limited success.
