Evaluation Of Different Rapid Orthodontic Expansion Devices

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.

Primary outcomes

Amount of skeletal and dental expansion

Time frame: 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

Time frame: 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.
