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?
- The palate is still developing, making expansion simpler and highly effective.
- Expansion can help with crossbites, breathing concerns, and crowding, even in mature bone structures.
- A narrow palate can contribute to restricted airflow and sleep-related conditions.

- Long-Term STability: With proper retention and the added support of TADs, the skeletal changes made during expansion often remain stable into adulthood.
