The problem

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions?

“What criteria do I actually use for expansion in a 14-year-old patient?”
“When do I indicate MARPE and when don't I? ”
“When to Choose a Tooth-Borne vs. Bone-Borne Expander?”

If any of these questions feels familiar, this course was designed for you. You've spent years treating structures. This course teaches you to treat people.

Course curriculum

What you'll learn in these 2 hours

A clinical and scientific journey through the topics redefining maxillary expansion management

01
Introduction: maxillary expansion in adolescents, the time to act
Dr. Claudia Restrepo Serna — Full Professor at Universidad CES, Doctor in Neuroscience (University of Amsterdam) and founder of Neurotrainers — opens the course with the clinical and scientific context of maxillary expansion and MARPE in adolescents: why this is one of the most urgent and underestimated topics in today's dental practice
INTRODUCTION
02
Impact on lymphoid tissue: adenoids and tonsils
Clinical evidence on how palatal expansion stabilizes the airway and significantly reduces adenoid volume (up to 60%) and tonsillar volume (up to 38%), with direct implications for interdisciplinary management.
Scientific evidence
03
Transdisciplinary protocols and clinical decision-making
How to build efficient workflows with sleep specialists, pediatricians, and ENT specialists. Analysis of real clinical cases and decision criteria to position yourself as the clinical nexus your patients need.

Why now

This kind of access doesn't happen twice.

Dr. Yoon teaches her programs primarily in English, for audiences in the United States, in highly selective formats. Having her available in Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation, in a format accessible to our entire region, is an exception that Neurotrainers has made possible.

Spots are strictly limited to ensure the quality of the Q&A session and clinical analysis. There will be no second call with these conditions.
