Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 ironically, i wanted to get my ortho to expand my palate, but he felt that it was not worth the effort for such a small requirement. he's only trying to broaden my arch, but now that's reached its limit... sometimes moving the teeth is not enough .... i'm now wondering if i should see another ortho who's willing to expand my palate... i'm 6 months lower jaw advancement post-op and i'm supposed to have my braces on for another 1 year! that's 18 months after surgery!!!! > > has anyone had a palate expanding problem? ... my palate was expanded > with a quad helix for 4 months and that was 5 months ago that my ortho > took it out and he's still expanding my palate with a special wire. > it's set my surgery back from august 04 to march 05 does that make > sense or is my ortho an idiot....i'm sooooo pissed. just move my > teeth... they were already in the right position once... what gives?
