ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of maxillary protraction, which is a treatment to help improve the position of the upper jaw (maxilla) in adolescents with a specific dental issue called Class III malocclusion. The trial compares a newer technique called Alt-RAMEC with a traditional method known as rapid palatal expansion. By using advanced imaging technology (cone beam computed tomography or CBCT), the researchers want to see which method is more effective in helping these young patients who have problems such as a collapsed upper jaw or misaligned teeth.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be adolescents experiencing specific issues like a retrognathic maxilla (where the upper jaw is positioned further back than the lower jaw), cross-bites, or similar dental alignments, and they should not have had any previous orthodontic treatments. They should also be in good overall health with no diseases that could affect their treatment. Participants in this trial will receive either of the two treatment methods, and the results will help improve future orthodontic care for similar cases. It's important to note that this trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants.
