How much forward growth of the maxilla should I expect to achieve with the DNA? I need all of the forward growth of my maxilla as I can get. At what amount does it become unrealistic to expect to achieve?
@@SereneOrthodontics Awesome, I definitely fall into the very underdeveloped maxilla category. My only other concern is with finding a great provider. Based on what I’ve seen with your channel, a quality provider can really make or break the quality of the treatment. I have a feeling that the bite plane of the appliance will make a big difference in the success of my treatment. Do you find that you have to make frequent adjustments to the bite plane as the palate continues to slowly expand?
@@SereneOrthodontics I apologize for all of the questions and I appreciate you answering them! What is the thickness of the DNA appliance bite plane? And is the bite plane completely flat? My biggest concern is with achieving harmonious expansion. Would you say it’s fairly likely for a slightly below average provider to exacerbate facial asymmetry? Or does the device work well enough with the natural functionality of the tongue and facial muscles that it can compensate for a not-so-great dentist?
Hello, I was curious, are there any providers in central Texas that you’d be able to vouch for? Have you heard of Dr Merrily Sandford? I’m seriously considering the homeoblock/DNA but I’m trying to minimize the odds of wasting just shy of a couple years+$10k on subpar treatment. Thank you.
@@SereneOrthodontics Thanks for the reply. I was also curious, do you approach treatment in a particular way when someone has an underbite that has been camouflaged by childhood orthodontic treatment? This has caused my bite and jaw to be quite asymmetrical, also causing a lateral open bite on my left side. Do you think I’d likely be a good candidate for the DNA appliance?
@@acardinalconsideration2436 I think a DNA or Homeoblock should work great. It’s possible that you may need some post treatment orthodontics After the expander.
Do you know of anyone who does the kind of TMD treatments in Indiana?

We can never guarantee, but we see people get 6mm all the time if the needed myofunctional therapy, lip and tongue tie releases are done.

@@acardinalconsideration2436 we usually adjust it every 4 months.

Hi there. Great channel. What are the costs involved in undergoing this treatment i.e palatal expansion as an adult. I live in Ireland
Generally 10k usd which includes all the adjustments and X-rays
is the virtual consultation for traveling patients free?
Not exactly but sort of..we charge $500 but it gets put towards our appliance therapy if treatment is done.

I’m truly sorry I do not know anyone in TX.

Are these covered by insurance?
And do you know any Doctors in Long Island NY that are as knowledgeable on this as you or that you’d recommend?
Dental insurance will usually pay some
What is the average price for those homeoblock
$8000-12000 depending on case complexity
