CONTENTS
COVER
On the cover: Palatal expansion is a common treatment for patients with maxillary
dental arch constriction. The expansion can be conducted rapidly or slowly. Is there
a difference in the effect of rapid vs slow expansion on the buccal alveolar bone, when
viewed with 3-dimensional imaging? See the article by Brunetto et al to find the answer to
this question. The smiling patient on the cover is Scout Invie, who was treated
orthodontically by Drs. Ed and Shannon Owens from Jackson, Wyoming.
