Orthodontic braces: I have a cross bite, will i get a palate expander ?!


Question: Orthodontic braces: I have a cross bite, will i get a palate expander ?
Just wondering what my orthodontist plans to do.
He says he will fix my cross bite, does this mean with a palate expander?

Answers:

I am getting an expander and he said it is because my jaw is too narrow. To fix your bit he would probably use rubber bands.



Maybe... Or just braces with elastics to pull your jaw into place...
