The palatal expander can also be used in adults who have a narrow palate. Here we show the MARPE technique, one of the best known.

00:00 Introduction:
MARPE is the name of a rapid palate expansion technique. We show how it is done in this 3d video of the Pardiñas Dental Medical Clinic (http://j.mp/cPardinas​) .

00:04 When is the MARPE technique used?
There are cases in which the patient has a very narrow maxilla or palate, which can cause a malocclusion with all the problems derived from it. To correct this problem, it is possible to resort to a technique called MARPE, with which an expansion of the palate can be achieved by disjunction of the palatine bone through its median suture.

00:28 What device is used to expand the palate?
For this, there are various devices that are anchored to the palate, and with which the patient, through small daily activations, generates an expansion movement in this device, causing the palate to widen little by little. Once the planned expansion has been achieved, new bone will begin to form in the space created.

00:48 Is it necessary to use orthodontics to correct narrow palates?
This type of technique is normally associated with an orthodontic treatment to correct the malocclusion. The type of the combined orthodontic technique used can be conventional with braces or with clear aligners.
