To evaluate the treatment efficacy, treatment duration, and cephalometric changes, as well as the impact on quality of life, of clear aligners and labiolingual spring Hawley appliances in the treatment of pediatric patients with anterior crossbite.

Conditions

  • Anterior Crossbite

Interventions

DEVICE

Clear Aligner

In this intervention, clear aligners were digitally designed using three-dimensional models for the upper jaw. Attachments were applied to the patients, specifically placed on the incisors exhibiting a crossbite relationship and on the permanent first molars in the posterior region. The series of clear aligners were replaced every 10 days. The aligners were used full-time, except during meals and tooth brushing.

DEVICE

Labiolingual Spring Hawley Appliance

In this intervention, a custom-made labiolingual spring Hawley appliance was designed for the upper jaw. It included two Adams clasps, a vestibular arch, and an active labiolingual spring positioned on the palatal side of the incisor in crossbite. The spring was activated every 10 days. The appliance was used full-time, except during meals and tooth brushing.
