About this trial
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of posterior disarticulatory resin bite turbos on the rate of maxillary expansion using a HYRAX expander in early adolescent patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either maxillary expansion with posterior resin bite turbos or conventional expansion without bite turbos. The study will assess and compare the rate and effectiveness of maxillary expansion between the two groups during the treatment period. Clinical measurements will be recorded to evaluate skeletal and dental changes associated with the intervention.
