No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Maxillary expansion is associated with varying degrees of pain and functional impairments. The current study aims to compare rapid maxillary expansion using a McNamara-type (bonded) appliance and slow maxillary expansion using a removable palatal expansion appliance concerning patient-centered outcomes. Those outcomes will include pain and discomfort, mastication difficulties, swallowing difficulties, and pressure on the soft tissues.

Conditions

  • Constriction

Interventions

DEVICE

The bonded McNamara-type appliance

The patient will be asked to expand twice a day until obtaining an overcorrection of 2-3 mm. Then the expander will be kept in place for three months as a retention period.

DEVICE

The removable palatal expansion appliance

The slow maxillary expansion will be applied using a removable palatal expansion appliance with a midline screw. The patient will be asked to expand twice a week until obtaining an overcorrection of 2-3 mm.
