Coastal Orthodontics, led by board-certified orthodontist Dr. Pardeep Kaur, is elevating adult orthodontic care in the Virginia Beach and Chesapeake region through advanced techniques including Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE), airway-focused orthodontics, and comprehensive sleep-disordered breathing solutions. The practice's evidence-based approach combines cutting-edge technology with specialized craniofacial expertise to address complex orthodontic challenges that extend beyond traditional alignment.

Why it matters

As one of the few orthodontic practices in the Hampton Roads area offering MARPE for adults and older teens, Coastal Orthodontics provides a sophisticated solution for patients whose jaws have fully developed. The practice's focus on airway-centric care recognizes the critical connection between jaw structure and respiratory health, setting it apart from traditional orthodontic approaches.

The details

Coastal Orthodontics utilizes MARPE, which employs small titanium miniscrews inserted into the palate to achieve controlled, predictable expansion of the upper jaw. This technique is particularly effective for addressing crowded teeth, crossbites, and breathing difficulties that stem from a constricted upper airway. The practice also leverages advanced 3D CBCT imaging to thoroughly evaluate each patient's airway anatomy, jaw position, and skeletal relationships before designing treatment plans. This interdisciplinary approach involves close collaboration with sleep physicians, ENT specialists, and myofunctional therapists.

• Coastal Orthodontics was founded in 2026.
