Abstract
Rapid Maxillary Expansion seems to significantly improve the respiratory capacity of treated patients, at least in terms of PNIF, and their olfactory function, measured by N-Butanol Olfactory Threshold Test. Further studies should be performed to evaluate if also changes in nasal resistances, measured by AAR, could occur, maybe considering a larger group of subjects and possibly using 4-phase rhinomanometry in order to evaluate the effective resistances during the entire breath.
