EXPAND YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS
What is a Palatal Expander?
A palatal expander is an orthodontic device used to widen the upper jaw (palate) to create more space for teeth alignment and to correct bite issues. This device is particularly beneficial for children and adolescents whose jaws are still growing, making it easier to correct dental crowding and other orthodontic issues early on.
