Palatal expansion for sleep disorders in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a treatment that widens the upper jaw (palatal expansion) can improve sleep problems in children who have a narrow upper jaw.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a narrow upper jaw (the roof of the mouth).
- Your child does not have missing teeth (hypodontia).
- Your child does not have a craniofacial or dental deformity.

This trial compares a newer clear palate expander to the traditional Hyrax expander in children aged 10-14 with a crossbite. The goal is to see which device works better and is more comfortable.
This study compares a traditional metal palatal expander (Hyrax) to a new clear aligner-based expander (Invisalign) for widening the upper jaw in children aged 6-11. It aims to see which device works better and is more comfortable.
This trial tests if a palatal expander combined with an Up-Locker activator can improve sleep and open up the airway in children with sleep-disordered breathing. It may help kids who snore and have a narrow upper jaw.
This study tests whether a special palate expander (MARPE) improves sleep and airway function in teenagers with a narrow upper jaw. It may help breathing during sleep.
This study looks at how jaw and palate treatments affect airflow through the upper airway in children with a specific bite and jaw shape. It may help researchers understand which treatments improve space for breathing and related pressure changes.
This trial tests different methods to widen a narrow upper jaw and see how they affect the nose and face bones. It is for people 15 and older who have a crossbite (when upper teeth sit inside lower teeth).
