What should we expect with
a Palate Expander?
palate expander is an appliance that fits near the roof
of the mouth (palate). It widens the palate to improve
the way the upper and lower jaws fit together (your
bite) and can make more room to fit into alignment
crowded teeth. Orthodontists, when kids are growing and teeth
are erupting, (or soon to erupt), may decide, as opposed to
having crowding or a need to extract teeth in the future, to make
more room with a palate expander.

their greater efficiency predictability and inability to get lost,
misplaced or not worn. Your expander may take a few days to
get used to. Chewing, swallowing and talking may seem awkward. Your mouth or nose
may even feel .tingly, or you may have a slight headache. Over-the-counter pain relievers
can help you feel better at the beginning. You will wear your expander for about 3 to
6 months.
In about a week or so, you may see gaps between your front teeth. That's a sign the
expander is working. These gaps may not form or they may close on their own. After the
expander has stopped being turned the gaps may close and this is not a sign that
expansion has been lost. The teeth have elastic fibers between them that sometimes
move the teeth back together at different rates.
Most expanders need to be activated 1 or 2 times a day at first.You do this with a metal
key. This may be tricky the first few times you try. But soon you'll get the hang of it.

ur kitchen was so old, it was becoming trendy
again," quipped Steve Permut about the room
he and wife Linda had considered redoing for years.
Concerned about changing the character of their nearly
70-year-old home and perplexed that the only
additional space they could add would require a size
reduction of the unusually large dining room they
loved, they put off what they knew needed to be done.
Finally, when the colors of their old kitchen started
coming back, they decided it was time for action and
that's when they called Gittleman.
"When we saw what they came up with, we said 'This
is it!" recalled Steve. "Their creativity spurred us on."
Down came the walls that enclosed a butler's pantry,
divided the kitchen and separated it from the house.
Gone are the pale blue tiles of a different era, replaced
by a state of the art galley kitchen glistening with new cabinetry and a show-stopping angled peninsula ideal
for gathering around by guests or grown children home for a visit.
Totally different, bigger than before, and exactly what they wanted—once they saw Gittleman's plans on
paper—their new kitchen came in not only on budget but on time and without sacrificing even an inch of
the room where they host family feasts and celebrate special occasions.
"We like having a large dining room," said Steve. "And we still have one."
So next time you're reluctant to start a job that needs doing, you can see what happily ever after looks like
before you begin, when you begin with a call to Gittleman.
JUST ASK THE PERMUTS.
