How do I decide which MARPE appliance is best for my patient?

The choice depends on the specific needs of each patient, see below for more specifics:

  • For central, stable palatal expansion: MSE is an excellent choice, especially for adults needing significant skeletal expansion.
  • For adaptable, bone-borne MARPE options: The ODL Custom MARPE allows flexibility in TAD and expansion screw selection.
  • For robust expansion and adaptability: The ODL Custom Power Screw MARPE with Tiger Dental Power Screw offers strength and customization.
  • For controlled tooth movement: The ODL Distal/Mesial TAD Appliance is designed specifically for distal/mesial adjustments rather than full palatal expansion.
