Data Sheet 1_Skeletal and dentoalveolar effects on the midpalatal suture and maxillary arc

30 subjects aged 6–18 years with mixed dentition were enrolled in a pilot study comparing the Invisalign Palatal Expander (IPE) and Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE). The dataset, authored by Luca Levrini and last updated in March 2026, likely contains the study's results, including measurements of midpalatal suture opening, arch dimensions, and patient-reported side effects. The data is stored in a 25.8 KB DOCX file.

Use Cases

• Compare skeletal expansion outcomes based on midpalatal suture opening measurements.
• Analyze occlusal changes based on arch depth, canine width, and arch perimeter data.
• Evaluate patient-reported side effects based on questionnaire scores for bulkiness, tongue impression, and gag reflex.
• Assess the clinical predictability of digital orthodontic protocols based on controlled expansion results.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled clinical study with 30 subjects divided into two treatment groups.
• Includes pre- and post-treatment (T0/T1) assessments from radiographic images and digital dental models.
• Patient-reported outcomes are quantified using a 1–5 scale questionnaire.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 25.8 KB, indicating limited scope and likely summary-level results rather than raw patient data.
