MARPE and MSE Treatment in Scarsdale NY

Achieve a Broader, Healthier Smile with MARPE & MSE Expanders at Blais Orthodontics in Scarsdale, NY

If you’ve been told that your upper jaw is too narrow for proper alignment, or if you struggle with breathing issues, a palatal expander may be the solution. At Blais Orthodontics, we specialize in advanced maxillary skeletal expansion techniques, including MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander) and MSE (Maxillary Skeletal Expander). These non-surgical devices help create space for proper orthodontic alignment, improve airway function, and enhance facial aesthetics—especially for adults who thought expansion wasn’t an option!

What Are MARPE & MSE Expanders?

Traditional palatal expanders are commonly used in children and adolescents whose jaws are still growing. However, adult patients require a more advanced, skeletal expansion approach. MARPE and MSE expanders use small, strategically placed mini-screws (TADs) to gently separate the mid-palatal suture, stimulating bone growth and allowing for true maxillary skeletal expansion. These devices are ideal for adults seeking to improve oral function, facial balance, and breathing capacity without undergoing jaw surgery.

Benefits of MARPE & MSE Expanders

  • Non-surgical skeletal expansion – An effective alternative to jaw surgery for many adult patients
  • Improved breathing & nasal airflow – Helps address sleep apnea, mouth breathing, and snoring
  • Enhanced facial symmetry – Creates a broader, more balanced, and harmonious smile
  • Better orthodontic outcomes – Provides space for proper tooth alignment, reducing crowding and crossbites
  • Support for airway and breathing improvements – Expanding the upper jaw can help increase airway volume

Who Is a Candidate for MARPE or MSE?

  • ✔️ Adults and older teens with a narrow upper jaw or deep palate
  • ✔️ Patients with dental crowding, crossbites, or misalignment
  • ✔️ Individuals with chronic mouth breathing or restricted nasal airflow
