Resolving severe crowding and a narrow palate in an adolescent requires strategic planning to avoid permanent tooth extractions. For this 24-month case, I utilized a Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) to correct lateral crossbites and create the optimal arch width for a healthy, functional bite. Because achieving stability in complex expansion cases requires meticulous oversight, I personally managed every adjustment in our Kendall clinical suite to ensure a precise, aesthetic result. If you are concerned about your child’s crowded teeth or narrow smile, contact us for a clinical evaluation to discuss a non-extraction path to a healthy smile.
