Clinical Trial: Comparison of Laboratory-Fabricated and 3D-Printed Rapid Maxillary Expansion Appliances

U.S., May 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07599202) titled 'Comparison of Laboratory-Fabricated and 3D-Printed Rapid Maxillary Expansion Appliances' on Feb. 23.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether two types of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) appliances produce different outcomes in children. RME is a treatment utilized to expand a narrow upper jaw. This study will include children aged 8 to 10 years who need upper jaw expansion during the mixed dentition period (when they have both temporary and permanent teeth).
