2.Does alveolar bone follow transverse tooth movement or does transverse tooth movement cause dehiscence in alveolar bone? This concern will be addressed in the next chapter where the anabolic effects of MOPs are discussed.

Dental tipping during expansion can increase the risk of dehiscence, especially in the alveolar crest, and also can worsen the occlusion, especially in open bites cases (Fig. 4.11). While this is a real concern in adults, MOPs can help control these side effects.

Fig. 4.11Tipping during adult expansion. Tilting during expansion has two components: skeletal and dental. (a) Skeletal tipping is the result of the distance between force application and the center of resistance of maxilla, causing tilting of hemi-maxilla and the dentition together. Dental tipping that is due to the distance between force application and center of resistance of posterior teeth (b), which can worsen the open bite and can cause dehiscence in crest of alveolar bone (c)
