MSE II - invented by Prof.  Won Moon  (UCLA)

Maxillary Skeletal Expander with Mini Implant Screws

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).

Benefits

• Mostly Skeletal Expansion: Less Bone Bending and Dental Tipping Compared to RPE and SARPE
• MSE Can Be Used for Mature Patients
• Less Invasive than SARPE and Orthognathit Surgery
• Significant Increase in Upper Airway Volume: Nasal Obstruction, Sleep Apnea
• Vertical Control in High Angle Cases
• FM and MSE for Class Ill Correction
