Intervention
Patients will be divided into two groups. 50 patients for each group. A control group will exist which will have bone grafting but with no preliminary orthodontic treatment, and a treatment group that has bone grafting preceded by orthodontic treatment to expand the upper dental arch. It is estimated that it will take 24 months to recruit this number of patients and a further year to collect the results. The investigations used are those usually obtained to assess growth and dental development in this group of patients.
