Dr. Ildeu Andrade, associate professor in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, has received the Orthodontic Faculty Development Fellowship Award from the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation (AAOF) for a project entitled “3D-Printed versus Laboratory-Fabricated Hyrax Expanders: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial”. The study will compare the two types of expanders for their dentoskeletal effects, as well as assess the patient’s quality of life and pain perception during the treatment.
