Midpalatal suture density ratio as a predictor of skeletal response to rapid maxillary expansion

We read with great interest the article in the February issue of the AJO-DO entitled "Midpalatal suture density ratio: a novel predictor of skeletal response to rapid maxillary expansion."1 The authors suggested using a qualitative evaluation method of the midpalatal suture to estimate the skeletal response to the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) procedure. This topic is of great interest to orthodontics, because it focuses on a characteristic of the patient that determines the success of the therapy.
