I was so excited
to finally find people with the same problem I have. I am almost 48 years old and have a narrow palate with quite a bit of crowding of my teeth. My palate is deep, a so narrow that if I try to slide a dum-dum lollipop along the roof of my mouth from back to front, it gets stuck! Apparently, when I was a child, a doctor told my parents that I should have surgery, but my parents didn't want to put me though it! I've always hated my teeth and wondered why I couldn't have beautiful straight teeth like everyone else.I went to one orthodontist years ago, who told me that I would need some sort of surgery that involves opening my palate and putting in bone from another part of my body, and THEN I would need two difference palate expanders, because of how narrow the palate is. You can imagine how the thought of this frightens me. Has anyone else had this done? How bad is it? I just had corneal transplant surgery and I got though that just fine, but this scares me more!
