Invisalign Palatal Expanders:
Palate Expansion with Clear Aligners
At Strong Ties Oral Health, we make orthodontics comfortable and effective. Our Invisalign Palatal Expanders combine jaw expansion with clear aligner treatment, improving smiles, breathing, and confidence.
What Is Palate
Expansion?
Palate expansion is an orthodontic treatment that widens the upper jaw. Traditionally done with metal expanders, we now offer a modern solution using Invisalign aligners. This approach helps improve teeth alignment, bite balance, and airway health all without bulky hardware.

How Invisalign
Palatal Expanders Work
1. Consultation & CBCT Scan
During your first visit, our team will evaluate your airway, jaw structure, and teeth alignment to determine if Invisalign Palatal Expanders are the best option.
2. Custom 3D Plan
Using 3D imaging technology, we’ll create a customized series of aligners tailored to your unique needs.

You’ll visit our office periodically to ensure progress is on track and make adjustments as needed.
