Airway Orthodontics and MARPE

Airway Orthodontics and MARPE

MARPE (Mini Implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) is a crucial advancement in airway orthodontics. 

It can widen your narrow maxilla or jaws. The MARPE expander for teeth, also known as palatal expander braces, helps address various dental and breathing issues such as crowding, obstructive sleep apnea, and nasal obstruction.

At Mercer Island Dental, Dr. Goichi Shiotsu and Dr. Ryan Tam specialize in airway orthodontics and MARPE, providing effective solutions for sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea conditions.

MARPE is a palate expander used to widen your upper jaw, improve airflow through your nasal cavity, and help align crowded teeth. Our experienced dentists perform this non-invasive procedure and make the process as comfortable as possible for you.

Our dental team is caring and always ready to address your concerns related to your treatment, ensuring you receive the highest level of dental care.

Sleep Apnea Treatment With a Palate Expander

At Mercer Island Dental, we provide non-invasive palate expander treatment that employs devices that gradually adjust your jaw or palate. It is beneficial in enhancing the space in your sinuses, facilitating unblocked airflow. Our dentists keep up with the latest technological advancements, which is why we offer MARPE therapy to treat a variety of dental issues.

This treatment provides your mouth with additional space, widens your airway, and enables easier breathing through your nose. This improves your sleep quality and overall health by ensuring consistent and unobstructed airflow during sleep.

Orthodontic Care Isn't Solely for Aesthetic Enhancement!

#

Orthodontic care is often necessary for a number of reasons, such as severe alignment issues. However, airway orthodontics can significantly assist in sleep apnea and improve your breathing and oxygen circulation.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious airway problem that interrupts your sleep and instigates other health issues such as diabetes and heart disease. At Mercer Island, Dr. Goichi Shuiotsu and Dr.Ryan Tam are committed to providing solutions that improve your dental alignment and overall health.

MARPE treatment is an effective solution, creating more space in your mouth and opening your airway. After MARPE, you will experience more restful sleep and a greatly improved daily quality of life.

Experience the Unlimited Benefits of Palate Expanders

#

Palate expanders offer numerous benefits for both children and adults. The following are the benefits of the palate expander:

  • One of the primary advantages is the improvement in dental alignment. By expanding your upper jaw, palate expanders create more space to accommodate crowded or crooked teeth, reducing the need for more invasive procedures later on.
  • They also play a crucial role in airway orthodontics by enhancing your nasal respiration. This especially benefits you if you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, as it helps maintain unobstructed airflow during your sleep.
  • Additionally, the palatal expander can address issues related to nasal obstruction, improve overall breathing, and reduce related health problems.
  • With increased space and better-aligned teeth, you will experience improved oral health, better breathing, and a higher quality of life.

At Mercer Island Dental, Dr. Goichi Shiotsu and Dr. Ryan Tam utilize state-of-the-art technology for fast palatal expansion, ensuring effective and comfortable treatment under local anesthesia.

Improving Breathing to Enjoy a Sound and Uninterrupted Sleep With MARPE!

Improving breathing with MARPE is a remarkable benefit of this innovative orthodontic treatment. By focusing on your upper jaw, MARPE (Mini-Implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) addresses your teeth alignment, your nasal cavity, and your airway issues.
