Non-Extraction Orthodontics with Maxillary Expansion
July 27, 2025
Breathe Easier, Smile Wider
At Inspired Orthodontics in Seattle, WA, we prioritize treatment methods that preserve your natural teeth and enhance overall facial harmony. Our non-extraction orthodontic treatment using Maxillary Skeletal Expansion (MSE) is an innovative, non-surgical solution that gently widens the upper jaw, creating the space needed to correct crowded teeth, crossbites, and restricted airways.
This method is ideal for patients with crowded teeth, narrow arches, or breathing issues caused by restricted airway space. Using a TAD-borne MSE device and local anesthetic, we can gently and effectively expand the upper jaw—often with visible improvements in as little as two weeks. Patients not only gain space for their teeth and tongue, but may also benefit from improved nasal breathing and fewer sleep-related concerns.
3D X-Rays
We incorporate low-radiation 3D X-rays in our practice when indicated. Our 3D radiographs allow us to visualize the following:
- Airway dimensions and possible blockage, including tonsils and adenoids
- Impacted teeth
- TMJs
- Skeletal relationships
- The position of the teeth within the bone
These 3D X-Rays give us a clear path forward for a custom, conservative, and comfortable orthodontic plan.
Personalized Orthodontic Precision
After successful expansion, precise tooth alignment is essential to achieve a healthy bite and a beautiful smile. We offer advanced alignment solutions:
