Bite turbos with palate expander for teenagers
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding small plastic bumps, called bite turbos, to a palate expander helps widen the upper jaw better than the expander alone in early teens. This may correct a crossbite, where upper teeth sit inside lower teeth when biting down.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 10 to 14 years
- Have a crossbite affecting both sides of the back teeth
- The upper jaw is narrower than the lower jaw, causing teeth to bite incorrectly
- Good overall and dental health
- No prior braces or orthodontic treatment

This trial compares two types of expanders (Quad Helix and RME) to fix back teeth crossbites in children. It looks at which device works best and is most comfortable for young patients.
This study tests a new 3D-printed expander that attaches to bone to widen a narrow upper jaw in young adults. It may help if you have a crossbite or need more room in your upper jaw.
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 trial studies how a rapid palatal expander (a device that widens the upper jaw) affects the shape of the roof of the mouth in growing children. It may help children with a posterior crossbite and a certain stage of dental development.
