    Abstract: An orthodontic skeletal expander attached to the jaw bone with mini implants needs a safety mechanism to allow easy removal in emergency cases. The safety release orthodontic skeletal expander includes two bodies with two incomplete holes in each body. The incomplete holes will not only provide enough surface to guide and hold the mini implants, but also enough open area to remove the expander if needed. Each incomplete hole has two safety-release wings opposite to each other that can bend easily under enough pressure allowing the emergency removal of the expander and/or removing the bent mini-implant(s). The four incomplete holes have two different inclinations to allow the mini-implants either to be placed parallel to each other or in a V-shaped configuration based on the palate shape of the patient.
