Summary
This study looked at 36 teenagers aged 10-15 who needed their upper jaw widened. It compared three different expander devices: one attached to teeth, and two attached to small screws in the palate. The goal was to see which device works best for widening the jaw and improving breathing, while causing the least harm to teeth and gums. Results were measured with 3D scans before and 6 months after treatment.
