In about a week or so, you may see a gap between the front teeth. That's
• else
a sign the expander is working. These gaps may close on their own, and
and
is not a sign the expander has stopped working. The teeth have elastic
r. Marsha Beattie fibers
between them and sometimes move the teeth back together at
different rates. This is why gaps may not form on some kids.

Most expanders need to be activated once a day. This may be tricky at
first but soon you will get the hang of it. The expander is left in the mouth
for a while after the last activation for stabilization.
Expanders may be fixed or removable. The vast majority of orthodontists
use fixed or non-removable due to their greater efficiency, predictability,
and inability to get lost, misplaced or not worn.

The expander may take a few days to get used to. Chewing, swallowing
or talking may seem awkward. The mouth or nose may even feel tingly,
or one may experience a minor headache. You may choose to utilize an
over-the-counter pain reliever at the beginning but soon will not require
any. The expander is worn typically for about 3-6 months.

A palate expander is an appliance that fits near the roof of the mouth.
It widens the palate to improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit
together, and can make room to fit into alignment crowded or un-erupted
teeth. When kids are growing and teeth are erupting (or will soon), the
orthodontist may decide to make more room to accommodate the teeth,
as opposed to what has been prevalent in years past of extracting teeth.
This is a benefit of a palate expander. Sometimes special orthodontic
wires during braces allow for enough expansion. This is a decision for an
experienced orthodontist
