HOW IT WORKS:

Bones change over time due to pressure being placed on them

The principle of pressure-induced or restricted growth applies in facial development

A key principle to understand – is that mid-palatal suture remains viable and living all throughout life and therefore permits significant expansion of the upper jaw at any stage of life.
