Clinical Trial: Tooth-Borne (TBA) Versus Hybrid Expanders (HA) in Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME)

U.S., Oct. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07849855) titled 'Tooth-Borne (TBA) Versus Hybrid Expanders (HA) in Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME)' on Sept. 16.

Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial will compare two types of expansion appliances used with surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in adults with a narrow upper jaw. SARME is a surgical and orthodontic treatment used to widen the upper jaw when orthodontic expansion alone is not sufficient.
