Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Invisalign® Palatal Expander System?

The Invisalign® Palatal Expander System is Align’s first 3D-printed orthodontic device to address widening the upper arch in growing patients. It is a revolutionary, clinically-effective approach to expansion that avoids the challenges of traditional palatal expander appliances.

Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if they are treated early. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that a child’s first check up with an orthodontist be performed no later than age 7 to intercept any developing problems, eliminate the cause, guide the growth of facial and jaw bones, and provide adequate space for incoming permanent teeth.

Patients do not have to remove the devices for eating or drinking. However, it is recommended to rinse the mouth thoroughly after each meal. Chewing hard, sticky or sugary food (including chewing gum) may damage the device and/or the patient’s teeth and should be avoided. Drinking sugary or acidic drinks may damage the patient’s teeth and should be avoided.
