Summary

The posterior crossbite is a common type of malocclusion that might affect the normal growth pattern. Early treatment is recommended by rapid maxillary expansion with different appliances. This line of treatment needs a sufficient retention period to decrease the rate of relapse. The low level laser therapy has been used to enhance tissue regeneration. This study aims to compare the effect of rapid maxillary expansion with low level laser versus rapid maxillary expansion in children with posterior cross bite malocclusions.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Bonded Rapid Maxillary Expansion and low-Level Laser therapy

Ten sessions of 0.5 watts for 20 seconds at 4 points along the mid-palatal suture
