Based on the result, it revealed that the various anteroposterior miniscrew placements of the palatal slope bone-borne expander had various patterns of stress distribution and resulted in various outcomes. It may be inferred that model A's miniscrew location was advantageous for obtaining expansion quantities, but model C's miniscrew position was advantageous for maintaining consistent biomechanics.
