MAXILLARY EXPANSION IN ADULTS (MARPE&SARPE)
A Premium, Personalized Approach with Dr. Kundakcioglu
Do You Have a Narrow Upper Jaw?
- A narrow upper jaw can lead to crowded teeth, crossbite, breathing difficulties, an unaesthetic smile, and even conditions such as sleep apnea.
- In adults, this condition does not resolve on its own. However, with advanced techniques and expert care, it can be treated successfully and comfortably.
Our Advanced Clinical Approach
- Comfortable SARME Under Sedation
At our clinic, we provide advanced SARME procedures performed under comfortable sedation, eliminating the need for general anesthesia in many cases.
This means:
– You remain fully relaxed and feel nothing during the procedure
– A safer, more controlled, and more comfortable experience compared to general anesthesia
- Tooth-Free, Bone-Based Expansion
Unlike traditional techniques, we use state-of-the-art bone-borne expansion systems.
– No pressure is applied to your teeth
– All forces are directed to the jaw bone
– Maximum biological efficiency with minimal side effects
This ensures a safer, more predictable, and healthier expansion process.
- Fully Customized Digital Planning
Your journey begins with advanced diagnostics:
– 3D CBCT imaging
– High-precision digital intraoral scans
– Comprehensive analysis of your jaw structure
Using this data, we design and manufacture a fully customized expansion device tailored specifically to your anatomy.
Treatment Options
- Mini Screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE)
Ideal for mild to moderate cases, using mini screw-supported systems for skeletal expansion without surgery.
- Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE)
Recommended for more advanced cases, offering the most powerful and stable results.
