Scientists map palate changes in kids with cross-bite using 3D scans

NCT ID NCT06522607

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 26, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study looks at how the shape of the palate (roof of the mouth) changes in 36 growing children with a cross-bite after treatment with a rapid palate expander. The children are grouped by their facial growth pattern (high, normal, or low angle). Researchers use 3D scans and detailed landmark analysis to compare before and after treatment. The goal is to understand how different face types respond to the expander, not to test a new treatment.
