Although the biomechanical effects of conventional rapid palatal expansion (Hyrax expansion) and bone-borne rapid palatal expansion (micro-implant-assisted expansion) in non-cleft patients have been identified by multiple studies, little is known in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the biomechanical effects of the conventional and bone-borne palatal expanders in a late adolescence with unilateral cleft lip and palate.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cone beam CT scan of a late adolescence with unilateral cleft lip and palate was selected to construct the three-dimensional finite element models of teeth and craniofacial structures. The models of conventional and born-borne palatal expanders were established to simulate the clinical maxillary expansion. The geometric nonlinear theory was applied to evaluate the Von Mises stress distribution and displacements in craniofacial structures and teeth.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Bone-borne palatal expander achieved more transverse movement than conventional palatal expander in the whole mount of craniofacial regions, and the maximum amount of expansion was occurred anteriorly along the alveolar ridge on cleft-side. The expanding force from born-borne palatal expander resulted in more advancement in nasomaxillary complex than it in conventional palatal expander, especially in the anterior area of the minor segment of maxilla. Stresses from the both expanders distributed in similar patterns, but larger magnitudes and ranges were generated using the bone-borne expander around the maxillary buttresses and pterygoid plates of sphenoid bone. The maximum expanding stresses from born-borne palatal expander were concentrated on palatal slope supporting minscrews, whereas those from conventional palatal expander were concentrated on the anchoring molars. In addition, the buccal tipping effect of teeth generated using the bone-borne expander was less than it using the conventional palatal expander.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Bone-borne expander generated enhanced skeletal expansion at the levels of alveolar and palate in transversal direction, where the miniscrews contributed increased expanding forces to maxillary buttresses and decreased forces to buccal alveolar. Bone-borne expanders presented a superiority in correcting the asymmetric maxilla without surgical assistant in late adolescence with unilateral cleft lip and palate.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-022-02640-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,13]],"date-time":"2022-12-13T11:03:57Z","timestamp":1670929437000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The comparison of biomechanical effects of the conventional and bone-borne palatal expanders on late adolescence with unilateral cleft palate: a 3-dimensional finite element analysis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Wen-yu","family":"Meng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan-qing","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ren-kai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-ming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2640_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e534","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0000000000006464","volume":"31","author":"S Haque","year":"2020","unstructured":"Haque S, Khamis MF, Alam MK, Ahmad W.
