It’s not an expander, it’s a tongue habit tamer. The spikes are very sharp 😳

expanders like that don’t work on adults at all.

SLP here-the tongue tie release really did have a huge impact on your speech. You almost had a lateral lisp prior to the tongue tie. Hoping the spikes eliminate the tongue thrust altogether. Don’t forget to keep doing those exercises :)

this is a lower distal jet appliance! Springs along the sides are activated to push the molars back

the palate is the roof of your mouth; so that’s where your expander will be if you’re getting a palate expander. that appliance is to keep your tongue from pushing forward

Brandi the funny one :
go to Walmart and get silicone earplugs. pinch off what you need and place over anything poking you. it doesn't dissolve like wax

Oooh this is so interesting!! Do you have a turn key to expand? This looks a lot less invasive than something like MARPE

I took weekly photos to see the progress. I was able to actually see the changes happening. You should do the same!

I am so excited for you!! That will definitely help with your tongue thrust! Have they talked to you about MYO functional therapy at all? It's therapy for your mouth pretty much

OMG, what a cruel device you have! Is it fixed to your molars, or can it be taken out while eating?

does the bottom expander have a screw? and is the the need for a top expander as well? the upper palate seems a bit narrow, anyway i wish you the best for your braces!

I’m an Ortho assistant and those springs are active which means it IS an expander as well. And also, I cannot believe they let you leave with all that extra cement on your teeth..yes it will eventually come off but it would have taken them a few seconds to clean it up for you 😞

I’m surprised you’re a candidate for it. You seem like you could be a surgical case like me. I tried expanders but ended up in a worst spot until I got two more evaluations from airway focused dentist and ortho. Now I’m in braces as I wait for surgery next year.
