NCT ID NCT07338591

First seen Jan 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looks at 36 children aged 8 to 13 with a narrow upper jaw and crossbite who need a palatal expander. Researchers will compare three ways to make the expander: fully traditional (mold and hand-made), hybrid (mold but computer-made), and fully digital (scan and computer-made). The goal is to see which method gives the best fit, saves the most time, and makes patients and dentists happiest.
