Learning objectives: • Differentiate between skeletal and dentoalveolar constriction in adolescent patients • Understand the diagnostic and clinical criteria for choosing between MARPE and bracket/aligner expansion • Avoid unnecessary invasiveness while maintaining treatment efficiency • Apply evidence-based protocols for predictable and stable outcomes
Topics covered: •When MARPE is the treatment of choice • When dentoalveolar expansion is enough • Key CBCT diagnostic markers • Overexpansion risks and relapse prevention • Clinical case presentations
Not every case of crowding or transverse deficiency in adolescents requires MARPE. In this webinar, we’ll discuss when skeletal expansion is truly indicated and when a bracket system or aligners can deliver the same results — based on clear clinical criteria, real-world experience, and scientific evidence.
