In recent years, an innovative orthodontic technique has revolutionized smile transformations in Miami – the Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion, or MARPE. This game-changer in orthodontics is providing incredible benefits to patients at Miami Designer Smiles, changing lives one smile at a time.
Understanding MARPE
MARPE, an advanced approach to teeth straightening, addresses various dental issues efficiently. The methodology focuses on the expansion of the upper jaw or maxilla to treat malocclusion effectively. MARPE is a non-surgical technique, making it a preferred choice for many patients. Traditional expansion methods were applicable only for younger patients, as the palatal suture fuses as one ages. However, MARPE uses dental miniscrews, providing the opportunity for older patients to enjoy the advantages of palatal expansion.
How MARPE Works
Implanted miniscrews in the MARPE process help apply force directly to the maxillary bone, bypassing the teeth. First, a custom-made device is attached to the upper molars with a small screw placed into the center of the palate. The screw can be adjusted, which lets the device gently and gradually widen the upper jaw over time.
Why MARPE Matters in Orthodontics
Orthodontics has evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in technology and techniques. MARPE is at the forefront of these developments, changing patients’ lives by enhancing aesthetics and functionality. Here are some benefits that MARPE brings to orthodontics.
Non-Surgical Approach
What sets MARPE apart from other expansion techniques is its non-surgical nature. Older patients, whose palatal suture has fused, would typically need to undergo surgery for palatal expansion. However, with MARPE, palatal expansion becomes a non-invasive, non-surgical process suitable for all age groups.
Effective and Safe
MARPE has proven to be beneficial in resolving crossbite, reducing crowding, improving nasal breathing, and harmonizing the face’s width with its height. Additionally, the procedure is considered safe. The risks and complications generally associated with orthodontic surgery are far less likely to occur with MARPE.
