Orthodontic appliances (palatal crib) vs no treatment

Occlusion (change in overbite, short term) · Children with a non-nutritive sucking habit (digit or pacifier)

It is very uncertain whether orthodontic appliances (palatal crib) changes occlusion (change in overbite, short term) compared with no treatment (very low certainty).
