3D printers vs. handcrafting: the battle for a more comfortable smile

NCT ID NCT05743127

Summary

This study is comparing two types of devices used to widen a child's upper jaw. One device is made by hand in a lab, and the other is designed on a computer and 3D-printed. Researchers want to see if the 3D-printed version works as well and is more comfortable for children aged 8 to 13. They will track progress over 6 months using photos, x-rays, and questionnaires about pain and quality of life.
