Summary

This study tests a custom 3D-printed device that uses small bone screws to widen the upper jaw in 16 young adults aged 18-30. The device is turned once daily for three months. Researchers will use 3D X-rays to measure how much the jaw widens and how teeth shift. The goal is to see if this approach is effective for correcting a narrow upper jaw.
