Summary

This study looks at two types of dental expanders used to widen the upper jaw in teenagers aged 12 to 17. One is a standard metal expander, and the other is custom-made using 3D printing. The goal is to see which one works better and more precisely by using 3D X-rays and digital models. The results will help orthodontists choose the best treatment for teens with narrow upper jaws.
