What is a palate extender ?!


Question: What is a palate extender .?
Answers:
When your mouth is not large enough to accommodate the size or number of teeth (permanent) you have, an orthodontist will often install an appliance called a Palatal Expander. It is usually used in children during their growth stages. My son's was put in at 7. It is a semi-permanant appliance. You use a small key nightly to gradually expand the shape of the mouth to accommodate the number and or size of teeth. It worked REALLY well for my son. He has a beautiful smile now, and it cut down on our brace cost and the time he had to have them. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer
