This is where expansion gets more interesting.

During our inaugural Atlas Forum meeting in May, Dr. Monica Cortés Mondragón discussed the DOMEzero Protocol — a synchronized approach that combines bone-anchored maxillary expansion with clear aligner treatment.

The idea is not just to expand.

It is to expand while managing the smile, the bite, the patient experience, and the esthetic concerns that often come with traditional expansion.

DOMEzero is built around synchronized expansion and aligners, helping patients avoid the large visible gaps that can make treatment harder to accept.

That is exactly the kind of conversation Atlas was built for: practical, advanced, and focused on how modern treatment protocols can become more patient-specific and more usable in real practice.

This is why CBCT review matters.

During our first Atlas webinar, Dr. Nick Colvin of Carolina OMF Imaging walked through a MARPE case where the appliance side looked strong — but the scan revealed a much bigger clinical picture, including a significantly narrow airway and frontal sinus opacification associated with severe headaches.

That’s the point of Atlas.

Not just more information. Better clinical discussion.

Diagnosis, radiology, airway, appliance design, and treatment planning all have to come together if we want better decisions before treatment begins.
