- Introduction to Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders are orthodontic devices used to widen the upper jaw, creating more space in the mouth and correcting bite issues. As a teenager, receiving two palatal expanders can be a significant part of your orthodontic treatment, addressing problems like crossbites, crowding, or impacted teeth.
The Initial Consultation
The process begins with a consultation at the orthodontist's office. During this visit, the orthodontist examines your mouth, takes X-rays, and discusses the need for palatal expanders. They explain how the expanders will help improve your dental health and the overall treatment plan.
Getting Ready for Expanders
Before placing the expanders, your orthodontist might recommend a thorough dental cleaning. This ensures that your teeth and gums are in optimal condition to receive the devices. Additionally, impressions of your upper jaw are taken to create custom-fitted expanders

Turning a dental expander requires careful handling to ensure it works effectively. Here's a basic guide:
Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need the expander key provided by your orthodontist.
Find the Keyhole: Look for the hole in the middle of the expander.
Insert the Key: Place the key into the hole, making sure it’s securely in place.
Turn the Key: Push the key towards the back of the mouth until it stops. This should turn the expander.
Remove the Key: Carefully take the key out without reversing the turn.
Tips for Success:
Consistency: Turn the expander as often as instructed by your orthodontist, typically once or twice a day.
Gentle Movements: Be gentle to avoid any damage to the expander or discomfort.
Check for Progress: Regularly check to ensure the expander is working correctly and inform your orthodontist if you encounter any issues.
Aftercare:
Oral Hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing around the expander.
Monitor Comfort: It’s normal to feel pressure, but if there’s significant pain, contact your orthodontist.
Turning a dental expander is a critical step in orthodontic treatment, and following these steps ensures it works effectively and comfortably.

I had this device placed on my teeth a couple of months ago. Eating will be your worst nightmare. I kept asking my orthodontist to remove it, and she refused at first because it was necessary for the treatment since I had four teeth extracted (upper and lower). She finally removed it a month ago because she thought I was good at wearing my rubber bands on both sides.
Whoever invented this instrument should have done a better job.
You can't chew or properly eat food, which led to constipation in my case, regardless of how much water I drank. This is because food went down my stomach in chunks.
You also have difficulty talking. Talking sounds like someone with a speech impediment. You will lose more weight due to not being able to eat and chew anything properly; even bananas and spaghetti will be a challenge.
Food will get stuck on the roof of your mouth, hanging on the bow across the top.
So sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with this appliance, Luckily that part of your journey it's done, sadly the discomfort and the hard time to adapt mainly depends on each patient, Some patients don't experience this appliance as bad as you did my friend! Thanks for sharing your insights!
