Lower Expander Help?!
Question: I have a top and bottom expander in my mouth and the bottom one broke.
At first it just came up off the tooth sort of where it was loose, so we made an orthodontist appointment (Monday). Just now it broke. It's still on my teeth but the part that goes around the actual tooth broke. My question is, is it going to cost extra to get it replace?
I really hope not. I've already cost my parents enough! (I haven't told them about it breaking seeing as they're asleep)

Hey, I (unfortunately) had a top expander too. I have no idea if it's going to cost you to replace it, but I would suggest that you get to your ortho as soon as possible. Breaking the part around the tooth is pretty serious and you should get it fixed quickly..you really don't want to have an expander for any longer than you have to right? So GET TO YOUR ORTHO! =]
