Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 , We were told the same thing about Max - would probably need a palate expander and great concern over a severe underbite. But then he started gh and the underbite became obsolete almost overnight! We were still told he would need a palate expander, but to wait because he was so far behind in growth. With catch-up growth and more, his palate did expand on its own. Unfortunately, he did need braces and has had to wear them for over FOUR YEARS now. The orthodontist is now saying that they should come off before he starts his junior year in high school in the fall. Whew! He is tired of wearing them and I am tired of taking him to the dr. every month. Oh, but then the battle to wear the retainers will start....
