      Palatal Expanders

      Palatal Expanders

      Creating Room for Healthy Smiles

      A palatal expander is a widely used orthodontic appliance designed to gently widen a narrow upper jaw (palate). At Harmony, our expert specialist orthodontists and pediatric dentists use palatal expanders to create additional space in the mouth for children and preteens, allowing permanent teeth to grow in correctly and preventing issues like crowding and misalignment. This safe and effective treatment improves bite function, enhances facial symmetry, and helps avoid more complex dental problems in the future.

      Why Is Palatal Expansion Important?

      When the upper jaw is too narrow, it can lead to problems such as crowded teeth, crossbite, and difficulty chewing or speaking—correcting these issues early with a palatal expander helps your child avoid more complex orthodontic treatments later on.

      How Does a Palatal Expander Work?

      A palatal expander is a custom-made appliance that fits comfortably inside your child’s mouth, attaching to the upper teeth. It works by applying gentle pressure to gradually widen the palate over time.

      • Simple adjustment: The expander has a small key that parents or patients turn daily or as directed to activate the device.
      • Slow, controlled expansion: The device widens the palate slowly and safely over a few weeks or months.
      • Natural bone growth: The expansion encourages the bones of the palate to grow and adapt, creating a stable, wider arch.

      Who Needs a Palatal Expander?

      Palatal expansion is most effective in children and preteens whose jaw bones are still growing. Our specialist orthodontists and pediatric dentists will evaluate your child’s dental development to determine if an expander is right for them.
