In about a week or so, you may see gaps between your front teeth. That's a sign
expander is working. These gaps may not form or they may close on their own a
that is not a sign that it has not worked. The teeth have elastic fibers between
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 meta
key. This may be tricky the first few times you try. But soon youll get the hang of it.
Expanders may be removable or fixed. The vast majority of orthodontist special
use fixed or non-removable due to their greater efficiency, predictability and inability to
get lost, misplaced or not worn. Your orthodontist can discuss with you which is most
appropriate and why. )
