    Managing Asymmetry with Dr. Svitlana Koval

    The conversation delves into the management of asymmetries during skeletal expansion, covering the understanding of asymmetries, their impact, and the factors contributing to their development. It also explores the correction of pre-existing dental velar asymmetry and stress distribution in appliance design. The conversation covers a comprehensive exploration of midfacial expansion, tooth movements, asymmetries, face mask use, and forces applied during treatment. Dr. Koval discusses the impact of expansion on smile alignment, tooth corrections, and the relationship between teeth and jaw position. She also addresses the stability of expansion, the use of face masks, and the forces applied to the midfacial complex. Takeaways Understanding the impact of asymmetries on facial expansionFactors contributing to the development of asymmetries Midfacial expansion impacts smile alignment and tooth corrections.Asymmetries are primarily dental and alveolar, easily corrected after expansion.

    Understand Symmetry causes with Dr. Svitlana Koval

    The Get Expanded community has reached a milestone of 200 members and is dedicated to bridging the gap between patients and providers for open, non-biased conversations on airway health. Dr. Svetlana Koval discusses asymmetries and their impact on treatment outcomes, emphasizing the need for understanding and addressing asymmetries before and during expansion. The conversation covers a detailed exploration of upper airway anatomy, asymmetries, expansion techniques, and treatment considerations. Dr. Koval provides insights into the impact of expansion on the upper airway, asymmetries in the nasal passages, and the role of the mandible in expansion procedures.

    Unwanted Fractures Explained with Dr. Jeremy Manuele

    The conversation begins with an introduction to the Get Expanded community and its mission. It then delves into the topic of unwanted fractures during expansion, exploring the causes, signs, and prevention methods. Factors affecting suture maturation and the role of FCPC in expansion are discussed, followed by an in-depth look at palatine bone fractures and their management. The conversation covers various aspects of orthodontic expansion, including turning rate, remote monitoring, orthodontic imaging, surgical assistance, anchorage systems, expansion protocols, and tooth movement. Dr. Manuele emphasizes the importance of careful monitoring and patient education throughout the expansion process.
