About this trial
* Hard tissue changes during the transversal expansion of the maxilla using a CAD/CAM expansion appliance. * Soft tissue changes during the transversal expansion of the maxilla using a CAD/CAM expansion appliance.
Participants will undergo orthodontic treatment, including:
* Initial records (intraoral scan, CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) scan, face scan) * Placement of guided orthodontic TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) * Skeletal expansion using CAD/CAM appliance * Fixed multibracket appliance in the upper and lower jaw * Intermediate and terminal documents (intraoral scan, CBCT scan, face scan)

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Millimetric landmark changes of hard and soft tissue measured by the digital superimposition of CBCT Scans.
Comparison of midfacial landmark changes during maxillary expansion
Secondary outcomes
CAD/CAM milled versus 3D printed guides for orthodontic TADs compared by the millimetric and angular deviation of planned and clinical position.
Transfer accuracy of milled and 3D printed drilling templates
