Mandibular Dentoalveolar Expansion in Early Mixed Dentition Using the Clara Expander: A Case Series

Mandibular expansion remains controversial due to concerns about long-term stability and effectiveness. While maxillary expansion protocols are well established, investigations into mandibular expansion remain limited. This study evaluates the efficacy of the Clara Expander appliance for mandibular...

Sumario:Mandibular expansion remains controversial due to concerns about long-term stability and effectiveness. While maxillary expansion protocols are well established, investigations into mandibular expansion remain limited. This study evaluates the efficacy of the Clara Expander appliance for mandibular expansion in early mixed dentition, assessing skeletal and dental changes using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
