Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary expected outcome will be correction of maxillary atresia. To this end, the transverse measurements of the maxilla will be evaluated, as described below: Intercanine Distance (IC): linear distance between the tips of the cusps of the upper deciduous canines; Distance between First Deciduous Molars (DD): linear distance between the tips of the mesiobuccal cusps of the upper first deciduous molars; Distance between Second Deciduous Molars (DE): linear distance between the mesiobuccal cusps of the upper second deciduous molars; Distance between First Permanent Molars (D6): linear distance between the mesiobuccal cusps of the upper and lower permanent first molars; Arch Perimeter (AP): length of a line passing through the mesial surface of the upper permanent first molars, the mesial surface of the upper deciduous canines, and the mesial surface of the central incisors; Arch Depth (AD): length of a perpendicular line constructed from the mesial contact points of the central incisors to a line connecting the mesial contact points of the first permanent molars; Intermolar Angle (AIM): angle formed by the intersection between the two planes passing through the mesiobuccal, mesiopalatal, and distobuccal cusps of both upper first molars.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The expected secondary results will be the similarity in the aspects evaluated in the two treatment groups, such as: pain and discomfort, sleep and wakefulness bruxism behavior, sleep quality and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), satisfaction with treatment, oral health literacy of those responsible, anxiety of the child's caregivers). In addition, we expect similarity in oral function will also be evaluated; occlusal contacts; cephalometric characteristics; presence of bacterial plaque; orofacial motricity and speech production and/or perception; cooperation; color stability of Invisalign expanders and complications. | — |
