At Mars Orthodontics, we understand how a narrow upper jaw can affect both the function and aesthetics of your smile. That’s why we offer Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE), a groundbreaking, non-surgical solution designed for adults. By separating fused palatal sutures, MSE addresses concerns like posterior crossbites and wide buccal corridors (dark spaces in your smile), helping you achieve a balanced, confident smile.
• Small screws are anchored to the bone in the palate, providing stability for the expander.
• The expander separates the upper jaw bones at the fused palatal suture, achieving true skeletal expansion.
• The screws and expander stay in place for about one year to maintain stability
during the process.
• Approximately 6-8mm skeletal expansion can be achieved.
• Nasal cavity width increases by 2.5-4.2mm.
• Stable results observed at 2-year follow-up.
• High success rate in carefully selected cases.
At Mars Orthodontics, we understand that every smile is unique. While traditional expanders work wonders for children and younger teens with developing jaws, Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE) provides a transformative solution for adults and older teens with fused palatal sutures. Choosing the right approach depends on your age, jaw structure, and treatment goals.
At Mars Orthodontics, we understand that every patient’s smile is unique. Using advanced 3D imaging and a thorough assessment, we determine if Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE) is the right solution for your needs. Whether you’re an adult seeking skeletal expansion or exploring other orthodontic options, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Take the First Step Toward Your Best Smile!
