Narrow Palate

Here is an example of a solution for a narrow palate.

A narrow palate or maxillary constriction is a narrowing of the upper jawbone that typically causes a posterior crossbite and a lack of space for the dentition.

Main causes: mouth breathing due to adenoid or tonsillar hypertrophy, atypical swallowing, prolonged thumb sucking, genetic predisposition, and facial muscle hypotonia.
