Rapid maxillary expansion is one of the most common orthodontic procedures performed in the pediatric population, easy to accomplish and compliance free, therefore really effective. Nevertheless, a careful diagnosis and frequent clinical follow-up appointments are necessary during the first weeks of active treatment. The purpose of this article was to report two cases of unexpected complications during orthopaedic maxillary expansion, involving two 7-year-old female patients, one presenting a saddle nose with suborbital hematoma and the other one an asymmetric palatal expansion. In both cases, the clinical situation progressively relapsed during the months following expansion appliance removal.
快速上颌扩弓是儿科患者中最常见的正畸治疗方法之一,操作简便且无需患者配合,因此效果显著。然而,在积极治疗的最初几周,需要进行仔细的诊断和频繁的临床随访。本文旨在报告两例正畸上颌扩弓期间意外并发症的病例,涉及两名7岁女性患者,一例出现鞍鼻伴眶下血肿,另一例出现腭部不对称扩弓。在两例病例中,拆除扩弓器后的数月内,临床情况均逐渐复发。
