Palatal Expanders
An orthopedic appliance used to widen a narrow upper jaw, creating space for crowded teeth and correcting crossbites.
Overview
A palatal expander is a device used primarily in growing children to gradually widen the upper jaw (palate). It applies gentle pressure on the upper molars, stimulating bone growth in the palatal suture. This creates necessary space for permanent teeth and corrects issues like posterior crossbites.
Who Is This For?
Growing children and adolescents with a narrow upper jaw, significant crowding, or a posterior crossbite.
Benefits
- Corrects posterior crossbites
- Can improve breathing by widening the nasal passages
- May prevent the need for future tooth extractions
