Palatal Expander and TPA: Correcting Jaw Issues for a Confident Smile
At Orthodude we want you to enjoy the most functional and beautiful smile possible, which is why we offer Palatal Expanders and TPAS. Orthodontic Solutions designed to address upper jaw concerns and enhance your smile’s aesthetics and functionality.
Understanding the Upper Jaw
The upper jaw (maxilla) consists of two bones connected by a suture in the middle. This suture remains open until the late teenage years, offering an opportunity for correction and enhancement through orthodontic intervention.
Purpose of Palatal Expander
A Palatal Expander is a versatile orthodontic device used to widen the upper jaw, addressing issues such as crowding, arch constriction, and crossbites. By turning the expander once or twice a day, a controlled gap develops between the two front teeth as the suture widens. Once the desired expansion is achieved, this gap naturally closes.
How Palatal Expanders Work
The turning process involves a prescribed number of turns, gradually widening the suture and creating space for improved dental alignment. Witness the transformation as your smile evolves during this carefully managed expansion.
Post-Expansion Care
Following the expansion phase, the Palatal Expander remains in place for six months. This period allows the upper jawbones to grow back together, forming a new, improved suture. Our commitment to your lasting results includes guiding you through this crucial post-expansion phase for optimal outcomes.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Achieve a well-aligned and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Improved Functionality: Correct arch constriction and crossbites for better oral function.
- Customized Treatment: Experience personalized turning schedules tailored to your unique needs.
