  Objectives: To analyse if Hybrid-RME has different effects on skeletal, dental and periodontal aspects when compared with those of Hyrax-RME or Hyrax-SARME. Methods: In this retrospective multicentre-study 28 patients with a severe nasomaxillary constriction were treated either with a Hyrax-type RME (6 patients, 13.92 ± 0.36 years), with a Hybrid-RME (7 patients, 17.20 ± 2.80 years) or with a surgical assisted Hyrax-SARME (15 patients, 30.58 ± 9.26). This study was performed in analogy to the method published by Garib, et al. using the freeware OsiriX 4.0. All measurements were performed twice with an interval of two weeks and the calculated mean value of both measurements was used for statistical evaluation, which was performed using SPSS 21 for Mac.
