What Is Palatal Expansion?
Palatal expansion is an orthodontic procedure used to widen the upper jaw (maxilla). This is done to correct narrow palates, relieve crowding, and improve breathing function — particularly where airway restriction or sleep issues are present.
Treatment options include:
- Traditional expanders
- Invisalign®-based expansion
- Trusted by families across Buckinghamshire and West London
- Regular follow-up appointments every few weeks to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. This can be remotely or face to face
- Surgical expansion (SARPE) for adults with fully fused palates
Who Can Benefit from Palatal Expansion?
- Early intervention can prevent extractions, guide natural growth, and create lasting space for teeth.
- Expansion can improve smiles, relieve crowding, and often forms part of a clear aligner journey.
- Widening the palate can improve airflow, support nasal breathing, and enhance sleep quality.
