Expanders may be removable or fixed. The vast majority of orthodontis
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 tingly, 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.

Dr. Nelson Hers:',
and
Dr. Marsha Beattie 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 'tiles 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.

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.
