Background: The aim of this study was to compare the skeletal and dental changes of a toothborne
(Hyrax) and a bone-borne (Smile distractor) expansion devices using three-dimensional
model of a human skull.
Materials and Methods: A finite element model of human skull was generated using data from
3-D CT scans of an 11-year-old female child. Then a Hyrax expander (tooth-borne appliance) and
Smile distractor (bone-borne appliance) in three different positions were adapted to the finite
element model and expanded for 0.5 mm simulating the clinical situation. The 3-D pattern of
displacement and stress distribution was then analyzed.
Results: The results of this study showed that screw position affects the stress and displacement
pattern within the nasomaxillary complex and maxillary dental arch.
Conclusion: Closer teeth feel more stress and undergo more displacement than the farther
ones. Moreover, skeletal effects of the Smile distractor were greater than of Hyrax in all different
positions.
