expander gap
Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2006 12:57 pm
Hello
I have had a bonded haas in my mouth for 9 days now. Ive turned it 8 times so far. I have no gap yet. My ortho says that every time I turn the key the appliance will increace by a quarter of a millimetre. I have to turn it 20 times all together. Does this mean that my gap can potentially only become 3 millimetres????
