Associations of miniscrew length with long-term skeletal, dentoalveolar, and nasal airflow changes after miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion: A retrospective cohort study
Key Points
Airflow changes are significantly associated with miniscrew length after palatal expansion procedures.
Participants experienced notable skeletal and dentoalveolar changes within five years of treatment.
Retrospective cohort analysis of airway metrics highlighted varied outcomes based on miniscrew length.
Findings emphasize the potential need for personalized miniscrew designs for optimal airflow results.
