@just.orthodontics: Maxillary expanders are an amazing treatment option for people with restricted airways! Did you have an expander as a kid? ##orthodontics##braces##expansion##airway##dentaltips##dentistry##teeth
…they took out 6 of my teeth cause my mouth was too small for them…and now I’m finding out they could have made my mouth bigger and left my healthy teeth alone 😭

That’s absolutely terrifying bro. It’s probably a good invention but that’s awful to think about

My daughters asthma went away after her expander. It improved her breathing and sinus area so much!

My sons expander fully changed the way his face looked. Not in a good way. Years later he grew back into it and it really did give him the room he needed for his teeth to come in, but for awhile I didn’t like it.

It also improved the look of the jawline!! My son is 9 and has snored since he was a toddler. We always thought tonsils etc, a few months with an expander and no more snoring!!

I had my braces 15 years ago and my orthodontists were extremely against extracting teeth just due to how it pushes the chin back and changes the shape of the face. It’s amazing to see new data coming out that keeping the teeth also has great health benefits!

The expander hurts like hell and then worse when the braces are next after the expander is finished with it's job. I'm happy that I didn't lose teeth but freaking hell did it hurt
