Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) is an orthodontic treatment designed to correct maxillary constriction in children and adolescents by widening the upper jaw through a skeletal approach. At DentMax Dental Clinic in Istanbul, RME is performed using custom-fitted fixed expanders that gently separate the mid-palatal suture. This allows for better nasal breathing, proper tooth alignment, and a healthier smile, while also preventing future jaw asymmetry or crowding.
