Fixed & removable expanders
We offer both fixed and removable expander options, matched to each child's needs.
Palatal Expansion
More room to grow & breathe
Palatal expansion is the process of widening and expanding the upper jaw to create more space for teeth to move into proper alignment.
Narrow arch → wide arch
Why It Matters
Width changes everything
A narrow upper jaw will often cause the lower jaw to remain trapped backward — which causes the tongue to block the airway.
By gently widening the upper jaw, we create room for the teeth to align and open up the airway, so air can move freely and the lower jaw can come forward into a healthier position.

Children
Easiest while they're still growing
For kids under 12, we have a real advantage — their hard palate has not yet fused, so the upper jaw can be widened gently and naturally.
Vivos Guide Series
In partnership with Vivos Therapeutics, featuring Vstarter®, VGrow® and Vway® appliances.
Room to breathe
Widening the palate opens the airway and helps guide healthy facial development.
No surgery required
Adults
Expansion without surgery
Previously, the treatment options for palatal expansion in adults were limited to surgery. Not anymore.
Through Vivos Therapeutics, the DNA® device is removable and custom-made to fit over your teeth. When worn 12–16 hours a day, the appliance activates the stem cells that drive natural bone expansion.
