Difference between appliances?

#1 Post by Tovin »

For purposes of care, pain management, speaking difficulties, etc., can anyone tell me the difference between the helix, pendulum, rapid palate expander, and the others?

There's not a lot about pendulums out there (especially recently) and I'm not sure if what people are saying for some of their experiences with these other appliances is similar.

Thanks!
