MSE appliance
Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MSE) is a specific type of Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander (MARPE), capable of producing large maxillary and midface expansion in young as well as in adult patients.
The MSE uses 4 TADs for fixation to the palate and a wrench for activation. It attaches to 2 molar bands via 4 legs for stabilization.
It is indicated in the treatment of posterior cross bite, Class III malocclusions and it is able to improve nasal airflow and breathing. Recent publications show the positive effects also in the therapy of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
