Yes, FME (Facially Mediated Expansion) is available in India, but it is currently offered by only a limited number of orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons who have specific experience with skeletal expansion in adults. Since FME is a relatively newer appliance, finding an experienced provider is more important than simply finding someone who offers it. Major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune are more likely to have specialists familiar with FME or similar skeletal expansion techniques. A consultation with an orthodontist experienced in adult maxillary expansion is recommended to determine whether you are a suitable candidate. The cost can vary depending on the complexity of treatment, the provider’s expertise, and whether surgical assistance is required. In India, the approximate cost generally ranges from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹4 lakh or more, including the appliance and treatment, though this can vary between centers. If you are specifically interested in FME, ask the orthodontist about their experience with adult skeletal expansion, the number of similar cases they have treated, and the expected outcomes in your particular case before proceeding.

Hello the best advice is that you first visit a nearby dentist, take their opinion, and then, if possible, get the treatment done by a good orthodontist.
