Description:

Treating adult patients with narrow palates, severe dental crowding, airway concerns, and sleep apnea no longer requires invasive surgery. This course presents a non-surgical, evidence-based approach using the MSE2 (Maxillary Skeletal Expander), a device backed by over two decades of clinical research. Led by Dr. Kawaiah, who has successfully treated more than 500 adult patients over the age of 50, this course offers practical guidance and clinical pearls for incorporating skeletal expansion into your orthodontic and airway-focused treatment plans. Attendees will also benefit from hands-on model work to reinforce techniques. Ideal for orthodontists, general practitioners, and interdisciplinary teams seeking to expand adult treatment options with proven, non-invasive techniques.

Learn to:

• apply MSE2 to treat adult patients with complex orthodontic and airway needs
• incorporate skeletal expansion into treatment plans for sleep apnea
• understand the mechanics, indications, and outcomes of non-surgical maxillary expansion
• practice hands-on techniques using clinical models

Description:

Dr. Kawaiah will present a series of clinical cases involving adult patients with narrow palates and Class II malocclusion. The focus will be on the use of MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) to widen the maxilla and advance the mandible an approach designed to improve airway function and alleviate obstructive sleep apnea. This session will also include hands-on practice with models to reinforce key techniques.

Learn to:

• understand treatment strategies for obstructive sleep apnea through orthodontic airway management
• address dental crowding and arch development using non-surgical expansion
• manage Class II malocclusions in adults without surgery
