Thank you for this. My daughter is 10 and will get two expanders and headgear to fix an open bite. I watched your video with her by my side. She is worried and I am trying to help her. Understanding the process is a good step. Thank you again. Nathir in Amman - Jordan.
i have an upper expander and headgear and my girlfriend tied me down and put my headgear strap on hole 7 on both sides and turned my expander 8 times it hurt like heck
hi, i have a question... my dentist said i must extract 4 teeth in order to get braces to straighten my teeth because my jaw is too small .... i know there are many different device out there to "expand" jaw -- such as what u are wearing... is extracting teeth to make room or no extracting just wearing jaw expander the same result???
No extracting teeth, takes away from your tongue space, causes TMJ, possible sleep apnea, also makes you age faster, were an expander creates the room for your teeth in the arch, Carrie
your awesome! don;'t care about those people saying your too old to get braces. there is no age limit for braces. your awesome because you are brave to get braces this age because even for me it hurt like hell and i couldnt eat. and you even got that expander. your awesome man! good luck with your braces :D
hello from dallas, tx in the USA... lol we usually put those in our younger pts... lol n many pts tell us its terrible hope it all went well. and how long until u get ur braces off?
My question is this: being do not here with the expansion of the lower teeth. The reason is that 23 years age. However, with the possible operation happening.
Is the lower jaw expander inserted by surgery? Orthodontists have searched but can not be extended in this way too, they say. However, with the possible operation happening. Can you help me I would be glad if you show me and the way.
You can send pictures of the final version of the first and after the operation are?
@sexandcity2009 Hi, No surgery is needed for the installation of the lower expander, as shown in the video. But for full expansion you have to be young. I will post photos when my treatment is finished.
i actually have an upper(palatal) expander and a bottom arch, and the bottom arch is way more annoying than a bottom expander cuz i got the bottom one and then after it got the lower arch.......
thanks for this vid! i have to get something similar to an upper expander at the roof of my mouth (it has to be skrewed into my gums, and is to correct an open bite), and seeing you talk like a normal person has comforted me greatly!!
how the heck do u eat with that thing on??im getting the invisalign in 2 weeksno ofense but ...i prefer the invisalign 10000000000000 times more than this :P
wow i had a top expander and a headgear (night only) then i got my braces off yay! 1 and 1/2 year later.. braces on top and bottom now :( and before all this is had 2 retainers for about 5 years -.- YYYAY!
@TrueBlueAustralian how much has this cost you and are you paying for it privately or getting it done under the national health scheme? I have had this problem for years and I have been fobbed off by so called proffessionals that lower braces are never heard of, what a ...........lie. I live in UK and can't afford the private treatment, does your orthodontist know anyone in UK who could help me under the NHS?
@KNICH0L3 I think bottom is worse cause it stretches and pull the skin under your tongue (like pinches/get stuck) so sometimes it hard to move ur tongue normal x.o
@TrueBlueAustralian hey dude im a kid so im gonna get braces because I keep licking my Adult Teeth do I have to were Head Gear braces are fine but i think i will look awful with head gear
@TrueBlueAustralian Aww I love your accent. I just got my braces off and my ortho guy who is also related to me through marriage, and uncle or something talked about head gear and I flat out refused-although I would only have to wear it at home at night- but I didn't because my teeth weren't that bad. Just a gap in the front and crowding, now I have them off, braces was so worth it, and I think I had a top expander but I am really not sure! :) Love your accent, and Lucas grow the hell up...
i remember when i got the bottom expander and the next day i had a speech/presentation to do and it was sooo hard but everyone said i did great, but no head gear for me.
@TrueBlueAustralian really one of my dentist said it will go away after u brush it its been like 3 months its still there.... and yes i do brush twice a day cuz i hav braces
Thank you for this. My daughter is 10 and will get two expanders and headgear to fix an open bite. I watched your video with her by my side. She is worried and I am trying to help her. Understanding the process is a good step. Thank you again. Nathir in Amman - Jordan.

i have a expander on the top of my mouth and i have to keep it in for 6 months then i will get one on the bottom.
it took me some weeks to get used to eating and talking with my top expaders
but i'm wondering:
- are the bottom expanders harder to get used to?
-is it harder to talk and eat with it?
- is it visible when you talk?
what i wanna know is if it's the same as the top ones or if it is harder to deal with :(
