Effectiveness of Four Mini-screws Supported Hyrax for Maxillary Expansion in Early Adulthood

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study aims to evaluate the Skeletal and Dento-alveolar expansion in adult patents using Four Mini-screws Supported Hyrax in compare with untreated control group.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Aim of the study: To evaluate the Effectiveness of Four Mini-screws Supported Hyrax for Maxillary Expansion in Early Adulthood Methodology: Essential record for orthodontic treatment will be taken. impression with bands on upper first molars will be taken. Four eyelets will be soldered to the body of the hyrax appliance (size 10, Dentaurum, Germany). CBCT will be taken while patient wearing 1 mm thickness vacuum on the lower arch to dis-occlude both arches. Delivery, check the retention and fitness of the appliance. The appliance will be cemented using band cement(compomer). Using 3M contra-angle driver, the screws (Tomas screw size 10, Dentaurum, Germany) will be loaded and inserted. Activation of the appliance by opening it two turns immediately, followed by two turns everyday till cross bite correction or appearance of midline diastema. Closure of the device, and leave the appliance in-situ for five months as a retention. Post-expansion CBCT will be taken and continue fixed orthodontic treatment. Outcome: skeletal and dento-alveolar expansion will be evaluated
