First-of-its-Kind trial tests best way to widen jaws in cleft palate kids

NCT ID NCT07465939

Summary

This study is the first randomized trial to compare two dental devices used to widen the upper jaw in children with cleft lip and palate. It involves 24 children who need this expansion before a bone graft surgery. Researchers are using 3D scans to see which device—a quadhelix or a mini-hyrax expander—is better at creating more space in the front of the mouth, where it's often needed most.
