Comparing the efficiency of maxillary protraction using digital cooperation monitoring in ages 4–7 and 8–11: a prospective study

Abstract

This study compares the effectiveness of face mask therapy applied after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in 4- to 11-year-old patients with objective co-operation data collected using thermal sensors. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference in the effectiveness of the maxillary protraction.
