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 for the bone to regrow & keep it's new shape. I don't understand why it needs to be on longer. Do you know why it should be on longer??
Any help would be appreciated,
Renee
