The Invisalign Palatal Expander System is a modern and
innovative direct 3D printed device based on proprietary and
patented technology. Invisalign Palatal Expanders are intended for
use in rapid expansion and subsequent holding of skeletal and/or
dental narrow maxilla (upper jaw) with primary, mixed, or permanent
dentition during treatment of patients.
“The Invisalign Palatal Expander is an example of our continuous
commitment to innovation by advancing digital orthodontics and
delivering products with greater efficiency for doctors and provide
better treatment experiences for patients and their parents,” said
Raj Pudipeddi, Align Technology chief marketing officer, executive
vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific. “We are
delighted to introduce the Invisalign Palatal Expander system,
Align’s first directly fabricated orthodontic appliance, to the
Asia Pacific region.”
The Invisalign Palatal Expander System consists of a series of
removable devices staged in small increments of movement to expand
a patient’s narrow maxilla to a position determined by their
treating doctor. Each direct 3D printed device is customised to the
patient’s unique anatomy based on an iTero™ intraoral digital scan.
A palatal expansion treatment plan and device design are then
developed using Align’s proprietary AI-driven orthodontic
software.
Combined with Invisalign First™ aligners, Invisalign Palatal
Expanders provide doctors with a full early intervention treatment
solution for Phase 1 treatment, an early interceptive orthodontic
treatment for young patients. Phase 1 treatment is traditionally
done through arch expanders or partial metal braces, before all
permanent teeth have erupted – typically at ages 6 through 10.
Invisalign First clear aligners are designed specifically to
address a broad range of younger patients’ malocclusions, including
shorter clinical crowns, management of erupting dentition, and
predictable dental arch expansion*.
“Phase 1 or early interceptive treatment makes up 20 percent of
orthodontic case starts each year and is growing,” said Dr. Mitra
Derakhshan, Align Technology senior vice president, Global
Clinical. “Together with Invisalign First aligners, Invisalign
Palatal Expanders provide doctors with a solution set to treat the
most common skeletal and dental malocclusions in growing children.
The addition of mandibular advancement features to Invisalign
aligners also provides doctors with more options for treating
skeletal and dental jaw imbalances and bite correction for their
growing patients during their teenage years.”
“We are excited to present the Invisalign Palatal Expander
system, a significant advancement in the field of digital
orthodontics, to our doctor customers in Australia and New
Zealand,” said Jonathan Primmer, Align Technology vice president
and managing director for Australia and New Zealand. “With the
increasing demand for orthodontic treatment among children and
teenagers in Australia and New Zealand, the launch of the
Invisalign Palatal Expander system allows us to offer a more
comprehensive early interceptive treatment solution in conjunction
with Invisalign First™, alleviating the most complex challenges
with palatal expansion while providing an exceptional patient
experience that is both comfortable and supports proper oral
hygiene.”
The Invisalign Palatal Expander System is now available in
Australia and New Zealand. It is expected to be available in other
APAC markets pending regulatory approvals starting in 2024.

About The Invisalign Palatal Expander
System
The Invisalign Palatal Expander System is a modern, innovative
direct 3D printed orthodontic appliance designed based on
proprietary and patented technology. Invisalign Palatal Expanders
are intended for use in rapid expansion and subsequent holding of
skeletal and/or dental narrow maxilla (upper jaw, dental arch,
palate) with primary, mixed (primary and permanent), or permanent
dentition during interceptive treatment such as Phase 1 treatment
and orthodontic or orthopedic treatment in children, adolescents or
adults in conjunction with surgery or other interventions when
necessary. Devices are 3D printed and are manufactured based on
digital scan data from commercially available iTero® intraoral
scanners offered by Align Technology, Ltd. The devices are
removable and make it easier for patients to maintain oral hygiene
compared to traditional palatal appliances; manufactured to custom
fit each patient’s anatomy for optimal comfort and aesthetics,
expanders fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth and are changed
daily (no screw required).
The System is comprised of Invisalign Palatal Expanders (active
expansion, each stage comes with a programmed expansion of
0.25mm/day, changed daily or as per doctor’s discretion) and
Invisalign Palatal Holders (copy of the last stage of the
expansion designed to hold the maxilla post-active expansion phase,
changed every 2-4 weeks as directed by the treating doctor),
Invisalign Attachment Templates and proprietary 3D shape generation
software. These products are not available for purchase by the
general public. However, the products are available for purchase
from Invisalign® trained dentists and orthodontists.
