palate expander-adult
Hi Doc, I hope you could help-I've had my palate expander in for 9 months now...I had the SARPE surgery & 4 teeth pulled in december and finished turning the "key" 12/31/04. I've read (& confirmed with my oral surgeon) that the expander should be on around 6 mos-that's enough time ...

palate expander
hi decisionmade,
thanks for the info and your response
I'm definitely going to ask my orth some questions at my next visit. I figure that I'm paying him all of this $$ he needs to explain to me why it needs to stay on so long!
thank you

adult palate expander situation
I hope someone can answer my question. I have had my rapid palatal expander on since January of this year. I'm trying to find out when this will be out of my mouth (my orth wouldn't give me an answer-just that it'll be on a "very long time"). I've read anywhere up to a year...I'm 29 years ...
