' t rithrrlorttfisi What should we expect with a Palate Expander? A 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. Expanders may be removable or fixed. The vast majority of orthodontist specialists use fixed or non-removable due to 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 tingty, or 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 fumed 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 limes you try. But soon you'll get the hang of it.
