Background/purpose: The rapid maxillary expansion is accepted as the gold standard for the treatment of unilateral posterior crossbite in growing children. This study used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the effects of a modified asymmetric rapid maxillary expansion (ARME) appliance on the upper airway volumes. Materials and methods: A modified ARME appliance was used on 12 adolescent male patients (mean age: 13.92 ± 0.82 years) with a class I skeletal relationship and posterior unilateral crossbite.

Results: Cephalometric measurements showed significant (P |
