The MARPEFACE protocol for midfacial expansion was developed by Dr. Svitlana Koval. It uses specialized bone-borne expanders to widen the upper airway, helping to improve symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing. These symptoms may include snoring, nasal congestion caused by anatomy, frequent airway obstructions that disrupt sleep, and other related issues. In addition to these health benefits, patients often experience improvements in facial aesthetics, which are frequently a desired outcome of the protocol.

One of our recent patients came to us with a common concern: a fuller face and an underbite. What made this case unique is that it wasn’t just a dental problem — it was a true skeletal Class III malocclusion, meaning the bones of the face and jaw were misaligned, not just the teeth.

Dr. Koval’s MARPEFACE protocol is a breakthrough approach to treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Upper Airway Restriction Syndrome (UARS).

The rationale for employing skeletal rather than dental reference landmarks is to minimize inaccuracies associated with molar tipping.
