Rapid palatal expansion in a patient with cleft lip and palate

Finite element research by Lee et al to evaluate the effects of rapid palatal expansion on the craniofacial skeleton of a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to predict the point of force application for optimal expansion desired in UCLP patients has apprised readers regarding the expansion protocols to achieve controlled expansion in patients with UCLP (Lee H, Nguyen A, Hong C, Hoang P, Pham J, Ting K. Biomechanical effects of maxillary expansion on a patient with cleft palate: A finite element analysis.
