Evaluation of the Effect of MARPE on Speech

MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) is an orthodontic expansion technique that uses a palatal expander anchored with miniscrews inserted into the palatal bone. The device applies lateral force to widen the maxilla skeletally in patients with transverse maxillary deficiency. In this study, all participants will receive MARPE treatment as part of their orthodontic management, and its potential effects on speech will be evaluated over time.
