A Vestibular Rapid Palatal Expander
Volume 50 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2016
Various types of rapid maxillary expanders have been introduced; while they all have their advantages and disadvantages, each is built around an expansion screw in the palatal area.

A vestibular expander called the was developed to address some of the drawbacks of traditional expanders and to optimize the disjunctive action of the appliance during its entire period of use in the oral cavity.
