haha im so worried. can they put a palate expander on the BOTTOM teeth or not.?.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes, palate expanders can be placed on the bottom teeth. However, if your jaw isn't too narrow, your teeth are just crowded, there are alternate ways to make room. That tooth probably won't get a bracket on it at first, but the adjacent teeth can have a spring placed between them to push them apart so that the crowded tooth can be brought into place. Depending on the severity, just plain braces without any extra appliances could possibly fix the problem I wouldn't stress it, these days there are so many more ways to fix crowding than pulling teeth.

Good luck :)Health Question & Answer

I had braces put on my bottom teeth b/c a tooth was covering 1/2 of the one next to it, also. I had them for around a year and a half, and they did absolutely nothing! So, I basically think that braces are not worth the money and time, unless you want to have them for a really long time. My neighbor had them for at least four or five years,with two sets. No, they don't take the tooth out, they use the brace to try to move it back into place. Once you get your braces off, you have to wear a retainer for a long time. They take a lot of x-rays and give you spacers to help space a small gap in between your teeth, so that they can put on the braces easier. After you have your braces put on, they will hurt for maybe three weeks, or so. To make the removable retainer, the orthodontist or helper will put this nasty paste in your make that makes you want to throw up that hardens into a mold so that they can use it to make the retainer. You may have to have expanders or rubber bands, depending on how bad your teeth are. I had rubber bands for mine, and they were and still pretty much are,kind of bad looking. I hope this helps!

Over time, they will move your teeth over, kind of stretching them. it doesn't hurt at all, except it might feel a little sore. if so, take some advil. make sure you go to a good orthodontist.Health Question & Answer
