## Caption

Adults can get expanders too—but it works a little differently 👀 In kids, the midpalatal suture is still open, so expansion can happen more easily. In adults, that suture is fused… which means we often need TADs (temporary anchorage devices) to help create true skeletal expansion—not just tipping teeth. Translation: 🔥 More stable results 🔥 Real airway + arch development 🔥 Not just cosmetic changes It’s never “too late”—it’s just a different game plan. #cleveland #MARPE
