[@chavillena3735]

Do you need to turn the removable expander oustside your mouth or the inside of your mouth?

[@Bumpy551]

Outside the mouth. I have one and it’s outside the mouths hope it helped

[@nishane_]

why did my dentist said that i should wear them even when i eat?

[@ava9xx3js9j]

does anyone here have a high palate and the orthodontist was not able to get it all the way up to touching your palate?

[@Xanadu2025]

Are these for adults?

[@pixiestylz]

First day wearing mine ...... gosh it hurts so much

[@sra4500]

It’s so hard to swallow saliva because the thing stuck on the top of my roof, any tip?

How do you make your expander not wobbly when you put it in

[@christianjoshua8394]

Can i sleep with expander?

[@stavroulamilona1653]

Does it hurt when you put it back on after the turns?

[@ohmyohnothegrapesarecoming2011]

yep. but here’s a tip, when it’s time to turn it only turn 1 time at first, and wear it for a few hours. then turn it again. then after a while turn it again. you’d get used to it easier, and it will be more comfortable.

[@robing9837]

yes but not that bad, although if they opened it too much then yes. Don’t let that happen, it’ll burn you bones (jaw bones)

[@lydiaxx549]

OH MY, OH NO, THE GRAPES ARE COMING!!!!! Does this make you speak different?

[@robing9837]

Lydia Beever at first you kinda do but if you leave it on for like 2 days your mouth gets used to it and you’ll talk mostly normal

[@lydiaxx549]

Ximena Gonzalez okay thank youu

[@kristinecalupad1057]

[@kristinecalupad1057]

Dr J it's removable, I expand it every other day

[@jewel8670]

[@mojojojo4799]

babe can I ask, does ur frenelum (under the tongue) bleeds when u remove ur removable expander? Its my first time and when I remove the removable expander on my lower teeth to eat it bled a lot

[@nela8466]

@@mojojojo4799 Jeez... you know you can't expand your lower jaw. Honey that only moves your teeth 😬 lower expanders can push your teeth out of your gums. STOP WEARING IT! Don't listen to all orthos please! For the sake of your teeth!

[@warrentheabiljon3792]

[@mojojojo4799]

Yes I have braces and removable expander both upper and lower teeth

[@akaBaye]

is it bad that although my orthodontist told me to spin it every other day, I’m spinning it everyday to fasten the process. ?

[@stavroulamilona1653]

You could get hurt. Listen to your orthodontist.

[@robing9837]

It could burn your jaw bone

[@altheakjithanah]

I also have the same thinking like you ..i keep on turning it instead of every 2-3days, i turn it everyday ..what happened is that it made my gums so painful for days

[@miaruen579]

I have the first kind. It hurts me so badly, I cry everytime I have to put it back in after eating/ brushing. This is misery

[@cakes76]

Hi did the dentist extract your tooth before putting it on?

[@WesleyOrthodontics-RobertKWesl]

Dr. Wesley generally uses orthodontic expanders in order to avoid extraction of permanent teeth. However, the extraction of primary (baby teeth) may be required to guide the eruption of permanent teeth in conjunction with expansion. Any further questions feel free to call and set up a complimentary consultation. www.wesleyortho.com/
