Rationale for
Expansion WJO
Winter 05'
189
Orthodontic researchers and clinicians have traditionally consid-ered the mandibular arch as the ultimate limitation for diagnosis,treatment planning, and therapy for nonextraction cases; ie, thesize of the mandible and positions of the teeth could not assumedimensions that differed greatly from those of the malocclu-sion.1,2 These researchers simply confirmed what successors toAngle have presumed about expansion—that it remains unstable.
Orthodontists have habitually evaluated malocclusions asthough they were an effect of mandibular development alone andthat the maxilla should and could adapt around this somewhatimmutable feature of the oral defect. Nevertheless, researcherssuggested some time ago that the position of the maxilla mighthave an important effect on the position of mandibular incisors.3
Tweed popularized the use of the mandible and, in particular,the mandibular incisors as the a priori diagnostic and treatmentplanning paradigm after his unhappy experience with Angle archexpansion techniques.4,5 He received early and enthusiastic en-dorsement from respected clinicians such as Steiner,6,7
Williams,8 and Ricketts9 and the mandibular incisor remainedthe mainstay of orthodontic diagnosis for several decades untilHoldaway,10,11 Creekmore,12 and Alvarez13 suggested the maxillaand the maxillary incisors as determinates of the soft-tissue pro-file. Future studies of arch stability should probably considerboth maxillae and mandibles when assessing the perimeter andarch width changes during treatment and postretention.
The successful use of orthopedic appliances alerted orthodon-tists to the possibility of increasing arch widths and arch perime-ters with minimum forces.14,15 Although mandibular canines showsingular resistance to significant expansion, mandibular premo-lars and first molars often experience substantial and stable ex-pansion. Brader’s work with the trifocal ellipse arch form hinted atthis expansion possibility,16 but he failed to suggest how thismight result in wider and more accommodating arch patterns.
The exploitation of this expansive capability offers orthodon-tists additional opportunities to accommodate crowded denti-
tions and to treat patients with a nonextraction regimen. Wein-berg and Sadowsky17 explained how orthodontic clinicians havethree options for increasing the arch perimeters of patients withcrowded Class I relationships:
1. Distal retraction of molars2. Advancement of incisors3. Expansion of arches distal to the canines
Effective retraction of first molars requires the removal of sec-ond molars, and even this approach gains little space.18 The sim-ple placement of brackets and archwires will ordinarily advanceincisors, which will sometimes exceed acceptable positions. Ofthese 3 strategies, expansion distal to the canines probably of-fers the most benefits with the fewest liabilities. However, clini-cians can avoid excessive incisor advancement by combiningbrackets and wires with a specially designed compressed tita-nium coil expander. The MSX 2000 appliance [AU: mfr?] allowslateral arch development in the premolar and first molar regions,without subsequent incisor displacement (Fig 1).
The MSX 2000 ApplianceThe MSX 2000 offers clinicians a low profile, continuous light-
force fixed apparatus that mimics the expansion Frankel and oth-ers achieved with passive appliances. The MSX 2000 presentsan assembly of tubes and rods soldered to either bands orcrowns, and it receives its expansive energy from compressed ti-tanium coil springs (Fig 2).
Clinicians can adapt the appliance for use in either the max-illa or mandible to achieve lateral arch development. Many ortho-dontists have trouble understanding the rationale for expansionin the maxilla in the absence of a crossbite. However, waitinguntil maxillary canines erupt with insufficient space offers a lessdesirable strategy than providing for their entrance while the pa-tient undergoes growth and development.
Clinicians need to make a habit of evaluating the maxillarywidth, as measured between the 2 first permanent molars, to as-sess the need and potential for lateral arch development. It al-most seems counterintuitive to view the maxillary arch as the lim-iting feature for the alignment of crowded mandibular incisors,but the maxillary expansion must accommodate the mandibulardevelopment.

Bishara suggests that a lingual arch in the mixed dentition willincrease the potential for a terminal plane shift into a Class II mal-occlusion without distal retraction of the maxilla or the maxillarymolars.19,20 When clinicians need maxillary molar retraction and ex-pansion simultaneously, a variation of the MSX 2000 can achievethose aspects without benefit of an extraoral retractor (Fig 3).
Clinical ApplicationProviding extra arch perimeter represents a major feature of theMSX 2000, and this makes it valuable in treating borderline ex-traction patients. Profitt21 has suggested that 3 mm or less ofarch-length discrepancy usually calls for nonextraction therapy.Ten millimeters or more of arch-length discrepancy almost cer-tainly requires an extraction treatment plan. The patients with 4to 9 mm of discrepancy represent a group that can justifiably re-ceive either extraction or nonextraction therapy. A nonextraction treatment plan ordinarily offers clinicians an attractive alterna-tive to extractions, with less patient trauma, simpler mechanics,and the requirement of less patient compliance. A dependablearch development therapy can often achieve such treatment.
The following treatment features an Asian female of 13 years4 months with Class I molars and Class II canines (Figs 4 and 5).She had excessive overbite and overjet and considerable maxil-lary and mandibular arch-length discrepancies. A cephalometricevaluation revealed a midface deficiency anteroposteriorly and
transversely (Fig 6). Therapy consisted of dual arch developmentwith MSX 2000 appliances, in conjunction with a fully bonded0.018-inch preadjusted appliance (Fig 7). The expansion devicescontinue until the maxilla expands to a minimum of 36 mm, asmeasured transpalatally from first molar to first molar at the lin-gual cementoenamel junction.22 The expansion occurred distalto the canines in both arches, along with improvements in facialdimensions (Figs 8 and 9).
As orthodontists diagnose and plan treatment for young pa-tients, they need to anticipate what those adolescent faces maylook like at maturity. By starting with the eventual end in mind,orthodontic clinicians can often select alternatives to extractiontherapies for patients with nonprotrusive profiles.
SummaryOver the past 100 years, orthodontists have vacillated betweenextremes of nonextraction and extraction therapies. Injudiciousselection of therapies despite facial dimensions has probablycontributed to the major clinical disappointments within eachstyle of therapy. The belief that expansion distal to the canineswould not stabilize after the cessation of active treatment hascontributed to the reluctance to use such therapy. However, ex-perience has shown that this type of expansive, nonextractiontherapy can have success without relapse and merits more at-tention from the specialty.
