Title: Palate Expanders The Most Important Orthodontic Appliance - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: - Orthodontic treatment is often most effective in childhood when it’s possible to take full advantage of the natural growth process to correct malocclusions (incorrect bites). A palatal expander is a device that is designed to do exactly that and maybe suggested by Dr. Griffin. A palatal expander gradually expands the upper jaw, creating more space in the child’s mouth. Although this may sound traumatic, it is a well-tolerated, effective treatment. When the expander is activated, there may be a feeling of pressure or some soreness for several minutes after the key is turned.
