CONCLUSIONS
Pain, pain

» Pain and functional limitation were common for patients in both groups
during RME at both T1 (1 day after the start of activation) and T2 (4
days after the first activation). The values obtained were of low
intensity, with no statistical difference between the groups. » There was no correlation between pain and functional limitation with
age or skeletal maturation of the midpalatal suture.» Female patients experienced higher pain perception and functional
limitations during RME. Patients displayed in this article previously approved the use of their facial
and intraoral photographs.
