First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new clear plastic expander to the standard metal Hyrax expander for widening the upper jaw in 40 teens aged 10-14 with narrow jaws. The goal is to see if the clear device works as well for correcting crossbites and improving jaw width. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two expanders, and results will be measured using 3D scans and dental models.
