An orthodontist evaluates the teeth, bite, jaw development, and available space before recommending a palatal expander. Treatment may help create space, improve the relationship between the upper and lower jaws, or address certain bite problems. Mild pressure or temporary discomfort can occur as the appliance is adjusted.
Good oral hygiene is especially important while wearing an expander because food can collect around the appliance. Regular orthodontic appointments allow progress to be monitored and adjustments to be made safely.
Dr. Pols Smileline Dental Clinic in Mumbai provides orthodontic assessment and individualized treatment planning for patients who may benefit from palatal expansion.
