See full text

Systems and methods including expandable dental appliances. The expandable dental appliances may include left and right portions that are distinct and separate parts, and that may be coupled by a sliding expansion feature configured to laterally translate the left and right portions toward or away from each other. Each of the left and right portions may include a palatal region and a tooth engagement region that are customized to respective left and right sides of a patient's upper dental arch. Systems may include multiple non-expandable dental appliances that are configured to be worn sequentially over the patient's upper dental arch to expand the patient's palate over corresponding stages of a treatment plan.
