Cross Bite
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluating and comparing the short term effects of different palatal expanders on the amount of palatal expansion and buccal tipping of posterior teeth. Hypothesis: H0: There is no difference in the short term effects between the different palatal expanders. H1: There is a significant difference in the short term effects between the different palatal expanders.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Amount of skeletal and dental expansion | 3 months | These are linear measurements which will be measured in millimetres in the first and the second cone beam computed tomography images and the difference will be calculated. |
| Amount of dental inclination | 3 months | These are angular measurements which will be measured in degrees in the first and the second cone beam computed tomography images and the difference will be calculated. |
