The effect of rapid maxillary expansion on the upper airway’s aerodynamic characteristics

BACKGROUND: The effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the upper airway (UA) has been studied earlier but without a consistent conclusion. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of RME on the UA function in terms of aerodynamic characteristics by applying a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)...
