Summary:
In this thesis, a systematic review is provided in Chapter 2 concerning the 3D evaluation of MMD. Chapter 3 provides the current evidence for MARME as a non-surgical maxillary expansion modality in skeletally mature patients in a systematic review of the current literature. The general aim of this thesis is to assess the 3D dento-skeletal and soft tissue effects of BiMEx and these will be outlined in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. MMD and SARME are both effective treatment modalities to solve transverse mandibular and maxillary discrepancies, however the long-term clinical outcomes are reported sparsely. Therefore, in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 the long-term dento-skeletal effects of MMD and SARME will be provided. Additionally, to the general aim, the next aspects will be highlighted: Chapter 8 presents the patient experience and satisfaction following MMD and SARME. Chapter 9 shows the results of a web-based survey on the current practice for transverse mandibular and maxillary discrepancies among orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the Netherlands. Chapter 10 provides an overview of our reported complications following bone-borne MMD using the Clavien-Dindo complication classification system.
