Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the impact of two types of expanders (hyrax expander and leaf expander) on the shape of the palatal vault in patients with maxillary transverse deficiency using 3D analysis.
- - A total of 250 patients were included, with 127 treated with the hyrax expander and 123 with the leaf expander, analyzing changes in palatal shape before and after treatment over 12 months.
- - Results indicated that the hyrax expander significantly lowered the palatal vault, while the leaf expander showed no significant change, highlighting the distinct effects of each device on palatal morphology.
