Sign up to get your guide to MARPE
MARPE stands for Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander. It is an orthodontic appliance used to support maxillary expansion with the help of temporary anchorage devices, or TADs.
Unlike traditional tooth-borne expanders, MARPE appliances use skeletal anchorage to help improve control during expansion. The exact design, TAD position, workflow, and activation protocol should always be determined by the treating doctor based on the patient’s anatomy and treatment plan.
Not exactly.
MARPE is the broader category of miniscrew-assisted expansion appliances. MSE is one specific style of MARPE appliance. ODL offers multiple MARPE options, including MSE, Custom Leone MARPE, Custom Power Screw MARPE, and other TAD-borne designs.
The right choice depends on patient anatomy, bone quality, doctor preference, TAD system, and desired workflow.
– Custom Power Screw MARPE
– Custom Leone MARPE Framework
– Maxillary Skeletal Expander / MSE
– Bone-borne options
– Laser-sintered banded options
– Custom contoured arm designs
– Straight round arm designs
– TAD-assisted distalizer/mesializer options
– MARPE + Vivid Aligner workflows
TAD-first means the TADs are placed first, then the patient is scanned, and the appliance is designed to fit the actual TAD positions. This is often useful when accuracy is critical or when the patient’s anatomy requires a more controlled approach.
TAD-last means the appliance is fabricated first, then the TADs are placed through the planned eyelet positions at delivery. This can be efficient for more straightforward cases.
Hybrid combines guided TAD placement with immediate appliance delivery. This can reduce the number of appointments while still supporting a more planned placement workflow.
ODL supports all three workflows because MARPE should be planned around the case, not forced into one method.
CBCT + STL overlay helps the doctor and design team evaluate the relationship between the teeth, palate, bone, and appliance design.
This is especially important because TAD placement is not one-size-fits-all. Bone thickness, density, root proximity, and appliance fit can vary significantly from patient to patient. Overlaying the CBCT with the scan helps support better planning, better communication, and a more informed approval process before manufacturing.
Yes. If you are unsure which appliance or workflow is best for a case, ODL can assist through live planning or a digital approval workflow.
Doctors can submit the records, indicate that they would like ODL to recommend the setup, and review the proposed design before the appliance is manufactured. This allows the treating doctor to maintain final approval while getting support from the ODL team during planning.
Yes. Every MARPE case requires doctor approval before fabrication.
Once the digital workup is ready, the doctor will receive a notification to review the design. The case does not move into manufacturing until the prescribing doctor approves the setup. This step helps confirm that TAD positioning, appliance style, screw selection, and overall design match the treatment plan.
Timeline depends on the workflow, case complexity, doctor approval speed, and whether all required records were submitted correctly.
As a general expectation, MARPE cases should be planned with enough time for:
– Digital design
– Doctor review and approval
– Manufacturing
– Shipping
Approving the digital workup quickly helps prevent delays. If the design needs changes or if records are missing, the timeline may be extended.
Yes. MARPE can be coordinated with aligner treatment depending on the doctor’s plan.
ODL can support workflows that use Vivid Aligners alongside MARPE to help manage spacing, coordinate tooth movement, and support finishing. This can be helpful when doctors want to keep the overall treatment plan moving while expansion is being completed.
For a first MARPE case, we recommend submitting complete records and clearly indicating your preferences—or letting us know that you would like ODL to recommend the setup.
A strong first submission should include your scan, CBCT, preferred TAD system if known, preferred workflow, and any clinical notes. From there, ODL can support the case through live planning or digital notification approvals so the doctor feels comfortable before manufacturing begins.
