Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Amount of skeletal and dental expansion

These are linear measurements which will be measured in millimetres in the first and the second cone beam computed tomography images and the difference will be calculated.

Time frame: 3 months

Amount of dental inclination

These are angular measurements which will be measured in degrees in the first and the second cone beam computed tomography images and the difference will be calculated.

Time frame: 3 months
