DOME (Distraction Osteogenesis Maxillary Expansion)
DOME (Distraction Osteogenesis Maxillary Expansion) is a sophisticated surgical procedure that allows for dramatic maxillary expansion in adults. The procedure involves making precise cuts in the bone (osteotomies) to release the resistance to expansion, then using a distraction device to gradually separate the bone segments. New bone forms in the gap through a process called distraction osteogenesis. DOME can achieve expansion amounts that would be impossible with non-surgical methods in adults.
