5 Dental Problems Expanders Can Address
Many people think of dental expanders as a last resort for extreme cases of a narrow mouth or for serious oral developmental problems, but that’s not all they can fix.
About The Practice
ChapmanSmiles Orthodontics is a modern but established orthodontics practice located in Clackamas and Happy Valley, Oregon. Founded and operated by board-certified orthodontist Gary Chapman, DDS, the practice is dedicated to treating patients with the highest quality care in a relaxed, fun, and friendly environment.
Dr. Chapman and the team at ChapmanSmiles Orthodontics believe everyone deserves individualized care. They never recommend treatment before a full orthodontic evaluation. To ensure their patients always receive quality care, the practice offers free initial consultations for every new patient.
Investing in the latest orthodontic technology is important to the practice. Newer technology results in shorter treatment times, fewer in-office visits, and less pain and discomfort for patients when treating issues like TMJ pain and sleep apnea.
Yes, we do braces, but we also offer Spark™ clear aligners for those who choose to be more discreet with their treatment.
Avoiding tooth extractions is another priority at ChapmanSmiles Orthodontics. Dr. Chapman only recommends extractions when absolutely necessary. The practice encourages early intervention treatments starting as early as 7 years old, like rapid palate expanders appliances. These devices help prevent overcrowding and misaligned teeth. We also do Sleep Assessments.
The staff at ChapmanSmiles Orthodontics understands that many children, teens, and adults come straight to their offices after school or work. For hungry patients, they offer freshly baked chocolate chip cookies daily.

Many people think of dental expanders as a last resort for extreme cases of a narrow mouth or for serious oral developmental problems, but that’s not all they can fix.
The solution to sleep apnea is not always a CPAP machine prescribed by your primary care doctor. Surprisingly, your dentist might be able to provide a less cumbersome option.
Everyone wants a perfect smile, but sometimes one dental approach isn’t sufficient to create the end result that’s desired. In such cases, a complete smile makeover can save the day.
