A virtual planning of the insertion of mini-screws, using a guide, is also described, seeking to perform a more precise insertion of the mini-screws, minimizing errors and encouraging the use of the appliance by orthodontists with greater safety. Our study focuses on a 45-year-old female patient with periodontal issues. A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanning were performed, and a guide was used to facilitate the insertion of mini-screws. The C-expander was used to correct the transverse maxillary constriction. We present another clinical (pre-surgical case) in other to confirm the indications of the C expander appliance. An accurate insertion of the mini-screws was performed using the guide. After 80 days of activation, once per day, significant opening of the midpalatal suture was achieved on both cases. The C-expander seems to be a simpler, more efficient, and low-cost type of MARPE appliance in adult patients. In more complex cases, a guide can be used to facilitate mini-screw insertion and to improve the accuracy of the procedure.","PeriodicalId":48688,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Orthodontics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
