Summary

This study investigates the effects of Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) on speech characteristics in adolescent and young adult patients.

While MARPE is a widely used orthodontic procedure for treating maxillary transverse deficiency, its potential impact on speech production has not been thoroughly evaluated. The aim of this study is to assess whether MARPE treatment causes any temporary or long-term changes in speech patterns using acoustic and perceptual analysis methods.

Conditions

  • Evaluation of Speech Characteristics Following MARPE Treatment in Patients With Maxillary Transverse Deficiency

Interventions

DEVICE

MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion)

MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) is an orthodontic expansion technique that uses a palatal expander anchored with miniscrews inserted into the palatal bone. The device applies lateral force to widen the maxilla skeletally in patients with transverse maxillary deficiency. In this study, all participants will receive MARPE treatment as part of their orthodontic management, and its potential effects on speech will be evaluated over time.
