Summary
This study investigates the effects of Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE) on speech characteristics in adolescent and young adult patients. While MARPE is a widely used orthodontic procedure for treating maxillary transverse deficiency, its potential impact on speech production has not been thoroughly evaluated. The aim of this study is to assess whether MARPE treatment causes any temporary or long-term changes in speech patterns using acoustic and perceptual analysis methods.
