To LIZ. Re: Cathy's photos-upper palate widened-info pls

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought.. expander used for kids

who are still growing. My friend's daughter(8 yo) used it for a year

and the result was very good. That got me thinking whether or not I

could use that method but I will try to ask my new Orthodontist also

will try to browse or googling (as u said :-) )After 3 years wearing

braces, I cant seem to be satisfied yet with the result.

Cheers
