Help with Pediatric Expansion Cases (RPE, IPE, Schwartz)

Pediatric Expansion is often needed in order to fully develop a face and bite. . Research does show a connection between expansion and airway. 

Due to potential orthodontic and emotional complications , our team at StraightSmile Solutions only supports palatal expansion on pediatric patients who have 1st molars (6’s) FULLY erupted.  If you are looking to learn to expand on 2-5 year olds, please find another mentorship program.  We also recommend you refer to the AAPD’s policy on this topic. 

There are also several pediatric appliances we can’t / don’t work with.Before you sign up, please see   point 18 in our FAQ
