What Is Arch Expansion Orthodontics?
The arch expansion opens a new realm of possibilities and methods to resolve many dental problems. Sometimes referred to as maxillary or palate expansion, this innovative procedure involves creating more space in your mouth for your teeth to perform their dance of alignment.
When confined within inadequate spaces, teeth become akin to frustrated artists, contorting, twisting, and often overlapping in a desperate struggle for their place in the spotlight. This orthodontic technique is instrumental for distant tooth straightening using nearly invisible aligners.
Arch expansion is like the grand stage manager, guiding each tooth outwards in subtle, careful movements. This allows for an expanded stage - or rather, an additional 4.5mm of arch room for your teeth to elegantly align. For this intricate production, an expander is needed to fit the needs of each individual patient. This appliance carefully fits over the patient's top teeth, nestled quietly in the back of the mouth.
