Hyrax Vs. Invisalign Palatal Expander Clinical Study
This study is comparing two types of devices used to widen the upper jaw (palate) in children: the Removable Rapid Palatal Expander (Invisalign Palatal Expander) and the Banded Palatal Expander (Hyrax expander). Researchers want to see which device works better and what the overall experience is like for patients. You might be able to join if you are 6 to 11 years old, need your upper jaw expanded, and have certain teeth already in your mouth. The main goal is to measure how much the palate widens after using the expander, which will be checked over about 4 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
