ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a dental treatment called the Four Mini-screws Supported Hyrax, which is used to help expand the upper jaw in adults who have a condition known as transverse maxillary deficiency. This condition often leads to issues like a cross-bite, where the upper teeth do not align properly with the lower teeth. The goal of the study is to see how effective this treatment is compared to not receiving any treatment at all.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to be between the ages of 18 and 30 and have specific dental issues, such as a cross-bite and a narrow upper jaw. Participants should have good oral hygiene and no other serious dental or facial conditions. Throughout the trial, participants can expect to receive the Hyrax treatment and be monitored for how well it works. It's important to note that the study is currently active but not recruiting new participants at this time.
