In Miami, there’s a new trend that’s making waves in cosmetic dentistry. It’s called Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion, commonly known as MARPE. Those desiring a broader, more beautiful smile are increasingly choosing MARPE, making it one of the fastest-growing treatments offered at Miami Designer Smiles.
What is MARPE?
MARPE is a minimally invasive treatment to widen the upper jaw, particularly in adult patients. It’s a revolution for adults who were traditionally told that their palatal sutures had fused and maxillary expansion was no longer possible without surgery. Doctors Raul Garcia and Concepcion Sanchez-Garcia at Miami Designer Smiles have been successfully incorporating MARPE into their treatment protocols, bringing a transformative, non-surgical option for adults seeking cosmetic dental improvement.
How Does MARPE Work?
With MARPE, small micro-screws are inserted between the teeth into the palate. These micro-screws are connected by an expandable device that the patient adjusts at home. The slow expansion process encourages the patient’s body to create extra bone in the palate, ultimately leading to a broader, more aesthetic smile and improved facial symmetry.
Benefits of MARPE
Patients undergoing MARPE at Miami Designer Smiles have discovered several advantages:
- Non-surgical approach: In contrast to more invasive options, MARPE is a non-surgical solution. This notably reduces recovery time and discomfort associated with surgical techniques.
- Effective in adults: MARPE has brought a ray of hope for adult patients who were told that maxillary expansion is not achievable due to the fusion of palatal sutures.
- Improved facial appearance: MARPE treatment can bring significant changes in facial appearance by enhancing facial symmetry and widening the smile.
