What Is an Invisalign® Palatal Expander?
Palatal expanders are used to gently widen the upper jaw in growing children, creating more room for proper alignment of teeth and improving bite issues. Invisalign®’s innovative version offers all the benefits of traditional expanders—without the metal.
Did You Know?
The earlier jaw expansion is done (typically between ages 6–12), the better the long-term results. With Invisalign’s approach, children now have a more comfortable and visually discreet option than ever before.
Benefits of Invisalign® Palatal Expanders
- No Metal Framework – Clear, comfortable, and minimally invasive
- Improved Comfort – Custom fit with gentle, consistent pressure
- Removable for Cleaning – Supports oral hygiene and speech
- Discreet Appearance – Virtually invisible in school or photos
- Integrated with Future Treatment – Aligns well with Invisalign Teen
Whether used as a standalone treatment or part of a full Interceptive Orthodontics plan, Invisalign® expanders offer a smoother, more adaptable experience for young patients.
Who Needs a Palatal Expander?
This treatment is ideal for children or teens who:
- Have a narrow upper jaw
- Show signs of crowding or misalignment
- Experience crossbites or bite asymmetry
- Are mouth-breathers or have sleep-disordered breathing
- Have speech or chewing difficulties related to jaw structure
During your visit to our Carrollton, TX office, Dr. Abraham will evaluate jaw development with advanced diagnostics to determine if expansion is appropriate.
Invisalign® Palatal Expander Process at Our Practice
Step 1: Pediatric Evaluation
We assess your child’s bite, airway, and growth patterns using imaging and clinical evaluation.
Step 2: Digital Scanning & Planning
No goopy impressions! Our digital scan maps your child’s mouth to craft a customized expander.
Step 3: Gentle, Gradual Expansion
Your child will wear the aligner-like expander daily, allowing the upper jaw to expand gradually and comfortably.
Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring
We schedule check-ins every 6–8 weeks to assess progress and adjust as needed. Our friendly Carrollton team ensures your child feels comfortable every step of the way.
