  • 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 bottom palate expander except i dont have the blue and orange things and i`ve had it for almost a year they really dont bother me

  • you creep me out o.O

  • im got braces and i need to where head gear and i onlt need a uper expander

  • I got braces today:3

  • "its like wearing a hat"

    no......no its not.

  • Does this push the chin outwards as well or just the teeth?

  • 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

  • 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 :(

  • is it sore?.. does it give you any dificultes while you eat?

  • 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???

  • @onemin1986

    Hi please don't pull out your teeth, please see my video on what happened to me afterwards, best of luck, Carrie

  • @onemin1986

    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

  • @ccarrieb

    thank u :-)

  • @onemin1986

    no prob, just don't let them do to you, what happened to me :-)

  • ??????????????

  • I Serkan from Turkey.

    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 have to get head gear.Are expander and the metal spacer appliance the same thing because I get my bottom one on Friday along with the headgear.

  • @XxPandaFishxX Sorry for the delay.. lets see your head gear what type did you get...?

  • Lol you're going to set off airport security. I can see it now...

    "Sir do have any concealed weapons?

    "Oh you mean my braces? Well if you give me a pat down i'm going to bite you...."

  • @ibrake4ducks lol i was worried the first time at an airport but nothing happened :(

  • do u have to wear the headgear 24/7 or just in night times????

  • @danicazelle13 As often as possible i try to wear it about 14 hr a day

  • Why are you wearing head gear wtf?

  • @1337NoFear1337 Fashion.!!!!

  • I feel sorry for you :/

  • You're kind of adorable.

  • lower arch expansion at that age? good luck

  • what is around your head?

  • its amazing how much interest there is in a mouth job

  • 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!!

  • What a nice guy that u r..!

  • 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

  • @jonaslove951 invisialign is for people too scared to have braces 

  • I make these....and I would never wear one. there are other easier devices. ha ha ha

  • @fletchjoe tell me more

  • how do u sleep in that head gear thing? wouldnt it fall off or knoch some teeth out?

  • @ak98us hasnt yet.. took a little while to get used to it

  • LMFAO dude you seem to have a great sense of humor i love it i would be totally digging the head gear hope your teeth are getting straight!

  • 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!

  • Do u hav to wear the headgear outside too? Or just in ur house?

  • @NickJonasRocks961 24/7...

  • @NickJonasRocks961 every where...

  • @TrueBlueAustralian i have head gear but i only have to wear it at night

  • @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?

  • Damn.i never knew there was a lower expander. I only got the top one

  • If I had to get headgear, I'd become homeschooled.

  • @Lisa13245 Its really not that bad the headgear anything you can take off is good.!!

  • @TrueBlueAustralian At my school, it's bad.

  • can u explain to me what does this exactly do???

  • @lugana1000 It pushes your teeth outwards..

  • Which ones worse?

    Bottom or top expander? :P

    I have my top one, and Im getting my

    bottom one after I get my top off

  • @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

  • @KNICH0L3 Bottom expander is worse, so anoying..

  • @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 get my top off in 2 months :D it gave me a gap :P but mine covers my back teeth. it doesnt wrap around them.

  • 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.
