Orthodontic Maxillary Skeletal Expansion: Traditional & Invisalign(R) Palatal Expander

Dr. Marta Baird at Baird Orthodontics explains the purpose of maxillary skeletal expansion during orthodontic treatment. She describes two different types of expander appliances. A traditional banded expander and the Invisalign(R) Palatal Expander. The Invisalign(R) Palatal Expander is a custom 3D printed removable appliance that is designed to expand the maxilla. It is designed to be worn full time. Our patients find it comfortable, convenient and hygienic.
