Answers:
An expander is a type of retainer on the top of your mouth!. It is designed to push the teeth outward!. It sits in the roof of your mouth and has a hole!. The orthodontist will give you a 'key' and you have to turn it when he says!. This key pushes the expander to push your tee th out!. The reason for this is to make room for other teeth or to improve your bite for maximum occlusion!. Often they use expanders rather than pulling teeth!. Sometimes if you have a really small mouth- they will do both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok!.!.!. let me be real with you!.!.!. it is one week and two days with my expander in and!.!.!. yeah, it's NOT fun at all!. by day two, i concluded that life was over for me for the next six months and if it wasn't the weekend i would have been in my orthos office having it removed! now, it IS actually a little better, i am speaking better and I'm def less self conscious about it!. and if you tell people, before you start a long conversation, whats going on, they are very sympathetic and patient, even though you may be spitting on them! lol!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is not that bad it is an appliance that makes the roof of your mouth wider so that your teeth aren't smashed togetherWww@Answer-Health@Com

AN EXPANDER IS WORN EITHER ON TOP AND/OR BOTTOM TO WIDEN THE WAY YOUR TEETH FIT TOGETHER WHEN YOU BITE!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
