ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the transverse displacement, stress distribution and tendency of change in tooth, alveolar bone and mid-palatal suture using three kinds of rapid maxillary expansion methods.@*Methods@#Cone-beam CT image data was obtained by scanning skulls of a volunteer. Three-dimensional models of maxillary complex were re-established using Mimics and Geomagic Studio and models of Hyrax expander, Haas expander and miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) were established using ANSYS Workbench. Stress distribution, displacement and tendency of change in tooth, alveolar bone and mid-palatal suture were evaluated.@*Results@#Hyrax expander brought 0.105 mm lateral displacement of crown, 0.022 mm mid-palatal suture width increase, wedge opening and clockwise rotation tendency of maxilla. Haas expander created uniform stress distribution, 0.216 mm lateral displacement of crown, and 0.031 mm mid-palatal suture width increase. In MARPE model, the lateral displacement of crown was 0.267 mm, and mid-palatal suture width increased 0.315 mm. The maximum of mid-palatal suture expansion and stress distribution appeared in the middle region, and maxilla had tendency of counterclockwise rotation.@*Conclusions@#The lateral changes of teeth and bones brought by MARPE were the most significant. Haas expander had some advantages in comparison with Hyrax.
