MARPE EXPANDERS
Engineered Solutions For Skeletal Expansion
MARPE has become an essential tool in addressing transverse discrepancies in adults as well as airway issues, requiring a balance of appliance design, placement accuracy, and clinical control. At DynaFlex, our MARPE solutions are developed to support a wide range of treatment philosophies and workflows—recognizing that no two cases, clinicians, or practices are exactly the same.
To accommodate this variability, DynaFlex offers multiple MARPE configurations that range from streamlined, traditional fabrication to fully digital, patient-specific designs. Each option is intentionally structured to align with differing levels of case complexity, planning preferences, and desired predictability, while maintaining consistent quality and reliability across all solutions.
By offering the MSE (Non-Custom), Semi-Custom, and Fully Custom MARPE options, clinicians are able to select the appropriate level of customization and digital planning based on the clinical demands of each case—without being forced into a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether prioritizing efficiency, flexibility, or maximum precision, DynaFlex MARPE solutions are designed to integrate smoothly into existing clinical workflows while supporting confident, consistent outcomes.

Surgical Guide Available
“The MARPE appliance is an integral part of our practice today. It has totally changed the way we practice orthodontics…more airway friendly, as it allows more oral volume, broader smiles, and more anterior superior position of the tongue, which brings it out of the pharyngeal airway”
Dr. Tito Norris | Stone Oak Orthodontics
