Question: Can you get Braces and a Palate Expander at the same time?
I went to the orthodontist and he said i need a palate expander and braces. Do i have to get palate expander first then braces or do i get them on at the same time?

You can absolutely have both at the same time. However, this will depend on your initial malocclusion, and why the expander is being used. Sometimes, the expander can be in place because of a narrow upper jaw. Other times it may be required to create additional space.
The best way to find out is to visit an orthodontist and have a consultation so that your personal situation can be addressed. Good luck!
Very very unlikely he would do both at the same time.
