MSE, MARPE & FME Skeletal Expansion

According to the manufacturers’ official provider directories and recognized organizations, Dr. Espinosa and Dr. Newaz are currently the only listed providers of advanced screw-retained skeletal expanders in Jacksonville.
These advanced, non-surgical appliances widen the upper jaw by applying gentle forces directly to the bone, creating true skeletal expansion rather than simply moving the teeth. MSE may be an appropriate option for older teens and adults, helping address bite discrepancies, create space for crowded teeth, and support airway function.
Custom MARPE appliances are designed to provide enhanced expansion for adults and patients with more mature sutures, while FME offers a highly customizable, bone-borne approach to midfacial expansion.
Using advanced 3D imaging and detailed treatment planning, Dr. Espinosa and Dr. Newaz develop individualized treatment approaches designed to support skeletal expansion, facial development, airway health, and long-term stability when clinically appropriate.
