I will just copy paste Richard Ting's words. He explains it better than I can
"Hi team, I like to share some newest technology and protocols on skeletal expansion with you all. I recently started my own skeletal expansion journey. I waited for a long time on this because the technology was simply not ready for case like mine. I'm a male in the 50s, thick bone and palatal cant with tori. Unless if I was willing to have surgical assist, expansion was out of the question. Until now. I have been doing Mid Palatal Piezo Corticotomy since Jan this year. So far, there is no fail case. Even on those cases that already failed cortipunctures. I stopped doing cortipunctures, because it's simply and completely outdated. Plus my sleeping and health condition was not going the right way that I preferred, I decided the technology is matured enough for me to start my own skeletal expansion journey. I went to the best orthodontist that I know and my classmates Dr Ilya Lipkin. Partners Lab(Djamil) custom made a skeletal expander with 8 TADs
. Dr Lipkin performed corticotomy and inserted the device. I flew back the same day from New Jersey to LA with only minor discomfort. The only thing that really bothers me was my tongue robbing against the device. Now I'm 1.5 mm opened with diastema. Many of my patients who had both cortipunctures and corticotomy told me that corticotomy bothered them a lot less than cortipunctures. Which was what I experienced myself, minimum discomfort. Dr Lipkin also mentioned that he has no fail cases with corticotomy. Both of us had stopped doing cortipunctures for a long time. I belive Mid Palatal Piezo Corticotomy is a game changer. With the addition of custom skeletal expander from Partners Lab for difficult cases like me. I believed Surgical Assist, DOME, EASE were obsolete! Except in very rare cases, more rare than male 50s with Palatal tori and cant. Imagining with less discomfort and potential instrument breakage than cortipunctures. Without the very invasive surgical process and zero down time. This is a revolution on maxillary skeletal expansion! I know both Dr Lipkin and I have course coming up on corticotomy. I'm excited to let you all know, that adult skeletal can be done predictably and with minimum discomfort. By the way, with only 1.5 mm expansion, I am able to breath comfortably with a flu and sore throat. I dream every night. My wife said I didn't snore except on the worse day of the flu. Corticotomy created a exciting future for maxillary skeletal expansion."
