DOMEzero is an airway-focused orthodontic protocol designed to create a larger, DOME-shaped palate. By expanding the palate at the bone level while aligning the teeth at the same time, DOMEzero helps improve nasal breathing, sleep quality, comfort of the bite, and overall facial balance—without creating large gaps between the teeth.
DOMEzero expands the palate and nasal airway, creating more space for the tongue and improving airflow through the nose. Better nasal breathing leads to deeper, more restorative sleep with less snoring, tossing, and turning. When people breathe better at night, they typically wake up feeling more rested and energized.
Unlike traditional expansion or braces done separately, DOMEzero synchronizes bone-level palatal expansion with clear aligner orthodontics at the same time. This means patients achieve airway improvement, a dome-shaped palate, and straight teeth together—without large gaps between the front teeth and with a more comfortable overall treatment experience.
DOMEzero addresses not just the bones and teeth, but also the muscles and soft tissues that influence breathing and facial development. Tongue ties, lip ties, and cheek ties can restrict proper tongue posture and airway function. Identifying and treating these issues, along with myofunctional therapy, helps improve tongue posture, prevent orthodontic relapse, reduce clenching and jaw tension, and support long-term breathing and facial balance.
DOMEzero is a Dome360 brand developed by leading airway health experts. The DOME-shaped palate concept was envisioned and conceptualized by Dr. Stanley Liu. The protocol integrates Dr. Claudia Pinter’s expertise in coordinating bone-level palatal expansion with clear aligner orthodontics, along with Dr. Gary Adams’ clinical understanding of how myofunctional issues and tethered oral tissues affect breathing, facial development, and long-term stability.
