Predictability of maxillary dentoalveolar expansion with clear aligners in patients with mixed dentition
CAT demonstrated reliable predictability in achieving dentoalveolar expansion of the maxillary arch in patients with mixed dentition. A higher accuracy was observed in the anterior region than in the posterior region. These findings suggest that CAT could be an effective option for treating transverse maxillary deficiencies in patients with mixed dentition with moderate inter-arch transverse discrepancies, considering tooth-specific predictability differences.
