1

MSE Position: Posterior Palatal Vault Between 1st and  2nd Molars in Order to Direct

the Expansion Force Against the Buttress Bones 

2

MSE Should Be Positioned Slightly Anterior to the Soft Palate

[ Bi-Cortical Engagement ]

* Caution: When the implants are not engaged bi-cortically, they may tip laterally during the expansion,                  causing unwanted tissue impingements and implant failure

[ Benefits & Contraindications ]

● Vertical Control in High Angle Cases

● Significant Increase in Upper Airway Volume: Nasal Obstruction, Sleep Apnea

● Mostly Skeletal Expansion: Less Bone Bending and Dental Tipping Compared to RPE and SARPE

● Less Invasive than SARPE and Orthognathic Surgery

● FM and MSE for Class III Correction

● MSE Causes Expansion of the Surrounding Structures

● MSE Can Be Used for Mature Patients

Benefits
Contraindications

● Extremely narrow palatal vault

● Patients with previous mid-facial trauma

● Extremely thick/dense palatal bone and/or dense buttress bone

● Extremely thin palate with low bone density 

[ Activation Protocol ]

※ Patient's Biotype Must Be Considered

MSE Ver. I - Pin Type

MSE Ver. II - Spanner Type

4 Turns = 0.8mm(1 revolution)

Ex.) MSE-8 means its expansion size is 8mm = 40 turns

MSE Ver. I
MSE Ver. II

6 Turns = 0.8mm(1 revolution)

Ex.) MSEII-12 means its expansion size is 12mm = 90 turns
