Summary

This study will assess and compare the levels of pain, discomfort, and functional impairments between rapid and slow maxillary expansion in treating skeletal maxillary constriction in the early adolescence period (i.e. between 12 and 16 years).

The study sample will consist of 32 patients who suffer from a skeletal posterior crossbite. The sample will be allocated randomly into two groups: RME group and SME group.

The patients will be asked to fill out the attached questionnaires at three assessment times.

Conditions

  • Maxillary Constriction

Interventions

DEVICE

Modified Hyrax Palatal Expander

The rapid maxillary expansion will be performed. The expansion should be accomplished between 10 to 15 days at most. The screw is going to be turned in a rapid manner.

DEVICE

Removable Palatal Expander

The slow maxillary expansion will be performed. The expansion will be performed in a slow manner. Patients may need between 6 to 8 months to achieve the required expansion.
