      a) adverse periodontal effects
      b) control of the expansion of the upper jaw in 3 dimensions
      c) eliminates orthopedic forces applied directly to the teeth

- Three - dimensional integrated management of the maxillary hypoplasia using Temporary Anchorage Devices in everyday practice
