First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special dental appliance that expands the upper jaw can also help the lower jaw grow forward in children aged 9 to 11 with a deep overbite. Sixty kids will get either an active or a non-active expander, and doctors will use 3D X-rays to measure changes in jaw size and position after 9 months. The goal is to learn more about how these devices affect jaw growth, not to provide a final treatment.
