Stress and displacement patterns in the craniofacial skeleton with rapid maxillary expansion—a finite element method study

Abstract Background Rapid maxillary expansion (RME), indicated in the treatment of maxillary deficiency directs high forces to maxillary basal bone and to other adjacent skeletal bones. The aim of this study is to (i) evaluate stress distribution along craniofacial sutures and (ii) study the displac...
