As an orthodontist, you’ve likely faced challenges in expanding the maxilla of adult patients. Traditional expanders often fail to deliver results, leaving surgery as the only option. But with MARPE (Mini-screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion), you can now offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution that is more effective and patient-friendly.

Our comprehensive course will guide you through every step of mastering MARPE technology. From diagnostic considerations to hands-on mini-screw placement, you’ll learn how to confidently apply this technique in your practice, providing a higher standard of care for your patients.

What You Will Learn:

• The principles of MARPE and its applications in adult orthodontics.
• Step-by-step guidance on placing mini-screws and managing treatment.
• Case studies featuring complex maxillary expansion scenarios.
• Troubleshooting common challenges and avoiding common mistakes.

Why Choose This Course?

• Minimally invasive solutions: Learn how to perform maxillary expansion without the need for surgery.
• Expert mentorship: Gain direct access to our orthodontic experts for personalized feedback.
• Hands-on practice: Build your confidence with practical exercises and real-life case discussions.
• Expand your patient base: Offer advanced treatments that set you apart from other practitioners.
