Brief Summary
This trial aims to evaluate the effect of different micro-invasive methods (piezoelectric and micro-osteoperforation) along with tooth-tooth borne RPE compare to tooth-bone borne MARPE on the amount of mid-palatal sutural separation in late adolescent patients. Null Hypothesis There is no effect of adjunctive micro-invasive methods (piezoelectric and microosteoperforation) on mid-palatal suture separation with tooth-tooth borne RPE appliance compared to tooth-bone borne MARPE

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Intraoral scanner outcomes
the use of an intraoral scanner RW1: The arch width defines as the distance in a straight line between the palatal cusp tip of the right and left first premolars. RW2: The arch width defines as the distance in a straight line between the mesiopalatal cusp tip of the right and left first molars. PV: The palatal vault height defines as the vertical distance from the occlusal plane to the median line of the palate in the position connecting the mesiodistal center of the left and right first molars. To assess the inter and intra reliability the arch width and palatal vault height of each patient will be measured three times.
T0: before expansion

Study Arms (3)
tooth-tooth borne RPE with MOPs
EXPERIMENTALmany approaches have been established to speed up orthodontic tooth movement and to decrease adverse effects. These methods are classified as, microinvasive methods include cortectomies and distraction osteogenesis and microinvasive methods include micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) and piezocision Microtrauma to the bone showed increase the synthesis of cytokines and chemokines, which are routinely released when orthodontic forces are applied . As a result, the affected area is undergoing a faster bone regeneration process
Tooth-Tooth borne RPE with Piezocision group
EXPERIMENTALPiezosurgery is an ultrasonic micro vibration-based bone cutting method. It used as a careful, promising, and soft tissue sparing method. In addition to its simplicity of use in the clinic, scientific evidence from animal models measuring wound healing and bone formation suggests that, piezosurgery has a better tissue response than traditional bone-cutting procedures .
Tooth-Bone borne RPE group (MARPE)
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe MARPE is a RPE device with a rigid element that attached to palate by the aid of miniscrew, exerting the expansion force directly to the maxilla's basal bone
Interventions
Patients in MOPs group will be subjected to minimal 6 MOPs 2mm apart and corticoperforation will be conducted by using drilling bure and only 1 or 2mm bicortical in the mid-palatal suture area. Patients with the piezocision group will be subjected to minimal 3 micro incisions spaced 4mm apart and a piezoelectric device with diamond surgical tip (size: 4 mm, thickness: 0.5mm) will be used.. The MARPE technique comprises the insertion of four bicortical miniscrews adjacent to the mid-palatal suture, being two mesial and two distal to the expanding screw. Each MARPE have two arms and will be fixed to molar band by soldering.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with the bilateral maxillary transverse deficiency.
- Patient referred by orthodontists for SARME or MARPE.
- Patients with developmental age in stage C or stage D maturation stages .
- Patients without developmental deformity.
- Good oral hygiene.
- Patient with intact maxillary first premolars and first molars.
You may not qualify if:
- Congenital maxillofacial deformities mainly cleft patients.
- Previous orthodontic and surgical treatment on the maxilla.
- Maxillary trauma.
- Previous extraction in the maxillary arch.
- Patients with periodontal disease.

- Masking Details
- Due to the nature of the trial, it is impossible to blind the investigator to the group once it is allocated. But the radiologist who uses CBCT will be blinded for the image capturing and thus allow for the blindness of the measurements extracted from the CBCT images that will be made at the soft tissue and skeletal and dental levels.
