Popis: The miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) has extended not only skeletal effects with fewer dental changes and but also the age limit of nonsurgical maxillary expansion treatment. Amid its gaining popularity in clinical orthodontics, our current understanding of treatment effectiveness, efficiency, and stability needs to be reassessed. In this review article, the authors have attempted to evaluate MARPE from various aspects with a focus on recent studies.
