Im no dentist but the arch expander costs an extra £150/250. Its required in some cases to create more room in the arch for teeth to be able to be straightened by the inman.

Nicesmile, I think it will straighten rotated teeth as long as there is enough room for it to move. One of my teeth was rotated and half trapped behind my front tooth.
