Summary

This randomized controlled trial is designed to compare between Fan expander with palatal springs appliance vs three-way expander regarding the their effectiveness in maxillary expansion in patients with bilateral cleft

Conditions

  • Bilateral Cleft Lip and Palate
  • Maxillary Expansion

Interventions

DEVICE

3D Maxillary Expansion with 3 expansion screws

In patients requiring maxillary expansion, after randomization and allocation for each to receive which expander, appliance will be cemented. In the 3-way group (A), 3 screw activations will be delivered by the care giver to expand the maxillary arch in 3D manner correcting the collapsed arch anteriorly.

DEVICE

3D Maxillary Expansion using modified Fan expander with springs

For the fan expander with palatal springs (B) , spring activation will be done by the operator after cemenation intraorally, then the care giver too will just activate one fan screw. Also 3D expansion evaluation was done.
