Invisalign Palatal Expander System for Palatal Expansion

This study is looking at how well the Invisalign Palatal Expander System works for children and teenagers who need their upper jaw widened (palatal expansion). Researchers want to compare it to a traditional treatment called the Hyrax expander. You might be able to join if you are between 6 and 14 years old and have certain stable teeth. The study will measure how much your jaw width changes over 12 to 18 months to see which treatment is more effective. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 120 participants.
