MARPE with TADs Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion for Adults
MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) is an advanced orthodontic technique that uses temporary anchorage devices (TADs) to expand the upper jaw in adults. Unlike traditional palatal expansion that only works in children, MARPE can successfully widen the palate even after the growth period has ended.

How MARPE Works
Understanding the revolutionary science behind MARPE technology and its superior approach to palatal expansion
Bone-Anchored Expansion
MARPE works by applying controlled forces directly to the bone through strategically placed miniscrews (TADs). This bypasses the teeth entirely, allowing for true skeletal expansion of the maxilla (upper jaw). The expansion device is activated gradually over several weeks, creating new bone formation in the midpalatal suture and permanently widening the upper jaw.
Superior to Traditional Methods
Traditional expansion relies on tooth-borne forces, which can cause unwanted tooth movement and root damage. MARPE eliminates these risks by anchoring directly to the bone. This results in more predictable, stable expansion with minimal side effects and faster treatment times.
MARPE Treatment Process
Step-by-step journey to your expanded, healthier smile
3D X-ray and CBCT Scanning
Advanced 3D imaging using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to capture detailed views of your jaw structure, bone density, and anatomical features. This high-resolution imaging is essential for accurate treatment planning and safe TAD placement.
Planning & 3D Treatment Design
Comprehensive treatment planning using the CBCT data to determine optimal TAD placement and expansion strategy. Dr. Pacha analyzes bone structure, creates surgical guides, and develops a customized treatment plan for maximum effectiveness and safety.
TAD Placement
Minimally invasive placement of temporary anchorage devices using local anesthesia. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and performed with surgical precision for optimal stability and patient comfort.
Gradual Expansion
Gradual activation over 2-4 weeks to achieve desired expansion. Patients or parents perform simple daily activations following Dr. Pacha's precise instructions. Progress is monitored regularly to ensure optimal results.
Stabilization
3-6 months retention period for bone consolidation. The expansion is held in place while new bone forms to stabilize the results. This ensures long-term stability and prevents relapse.
