MSE (Maxillary Skeletal Expander)
The Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MSE) represents a breakthrough in adult palatal expansion. Unlike traditional expanders that push on teeth, MSE uses four mini-implants (TADs - Temporary Anchorage Devices) placed in the palate to apply force directly to the bone. This skeletal anchorage allows the device to split the midpalatal suture even in adults whose sutures have fused, achieving true bone expansion rather than just dental movement. MSE has revolutionized treatment for adults seeking palatal expansion.

Four mini-implants are placed in the palate under local anesthesia. The MSE device is attached to these implants and activated over several weeks with regular adjustments by your provider.
Mini-implant placement is minimally invasive with 1-2 days of mild discomfort. Active expansion takes 2-4 weeks, followed by a retention period.
