PALATE EXPANSION FOR THE UNDER 6s: EXPANDING THE FOUNDATION FOR BETTER SLEEP, FUNCTION, AND HEALTHSPAN
Shereen Lim, DDS
November 14, 2022 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm EST
Two years ago, the Endeavour group inspired me to commence palate expansion in children as young as three years.
I look forward to sharing my experience so far with palate expansion for children in the primary dentition and engaging with you in live Q&A on what has become a very hot topic!
Objectives:
- Highlight important new publications supporting palate expansion for functional reasons
- Review and discussion of primary dentition cases including timing of ENT surgery, tongue-tie release and myofunctional therapy
- Address FAQs including appliance selection, retention, and more.
Dr Shereen Lim is a Perth based dentist with a post graduate diploma in dental sleep medicine from the University of Western Australia. She has been involved in the team management of snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea for over a decade.

Her work in private practice is restricted to tongue tie management from infancy to adulthood, early interceptive orthodontics and myofunctional therapy.
