DOMEzero Adult Palatal Expansion – Training for Dental Professionals

Led by DOMEzero Co-Founder Dr. Gary Adams in Vienna, Virginia, the TMJ Sleep & Breathe Center has become one of the most experienced practices in the world using the revolutionary DOMEzero system for non-surgical, suture-splitting adult palatal expansion.

Thousands of providers follow Dr. Adams’ adult and airway-focused cases online, and the demand for hands-on training has grown rapidly.

We have on demand courses available and our next in person course is November 6th and 7th in Clearwater, FL.

DOMEzero is built around a powerful collaboration with two exceptional leaders in the field:

  • Dr. Claudia Pinter, DMD (www.claudiapinter.at), a world-renowned orthodontist based in Vienna, Austria. She has pioneered innovative approaches to bone-borne palatal expansion integrated with clear aligners, enabling effective skeletal widening and bite correction with minimal or no diastema—delivering exceptional functional, aesthetic, and airway outcomes.
  • Dr. Stanley Liu, MD, DDS, FACS (www.drstanleyliu.com), a dual-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon and ENT sleep surgeon. He introduced the DOME concept for adult maxillary expansion in patients with sleep-disordered breathing, reframing it as the restoration of a dome-shaped palate to optimize nasal breathing, tongue posture, and sleep health.

Together, Dr. Pinter and Dr. Liu are educating professionals worldwide on advanced expansion techniques and the transformative benefits of achieving a dome-shaped palate.

DOME stands for Distraction Osteogenesis Maxillary Expansion, the biologic process of gradual skeletal widening through controlled tension and bone regeneration.

At DOMEzero, we embrace this as the gold standard outcome: a dome-shaped palate with adequate transverse dimension, improved nasal floor width, and a stable foundation for physiologic breathing. This can be achieved through patient-specific pathways—surgical, bone-borne, hybrid, or aligner-integrated—tailored to each individual’s phenotype (including pediatric cases starting from early interventions like myofunctional therapy).

Our mission goes beyond any single device or technique. We’re committed to standardizing the language around palatal expansion so that providers can effectively discuss and deliver dome-shaped palate outcomes, regardless of the approach.
