Palate expander!?!


Question: I have had a palate expander for a week (have to turn it for about 3) and the space is already big -- I look like a complete hillbilly. my friends all say that they dont see it but i totally dont believe them...
anyway- after I stop turning the key, how long will it take for my two front teeth to go back together??????????
some people say like 2 weeks after it will be back to normal..
is that true??????

oh my, i used to have one of them and my gab was so huge for the longest time and i hated it but everyone knows you have an expander and knows that your teeth arent really like that, so dont worry about it too much! after i stopped turning mine, it took about 2 months to completely close but it starts closing pretty fast....just remember what the final result will be, pretty teeth! :)

wow that sounds like the dentist is taking advantage of your insurance

Nope, not true. It takes probably a month for your teeth to go back together and it isn't really as bad as you think it is. I just recently looked back on pictures of me with my palate expander gap (about four years ago) and its not nearlyyyy as noticeable as i thought.

No, it's going to take longer than that, I'm not exactly sure about how long because I got braces on that pushed them back together.
But you just have to keep it for 6 months after that. It shouldn't take too long, just depends how long it takes your teeth/mouth to adjust!
