- Your expander should be turned as we demonstrated as many times as your
treatment plan indicates.
- You may notice a difference in your speech in the first few days after your
appliance is cemented. The more you speak, the faster you will become accustomed
to the appliance, and the faster your speech will become normal again.
- You may notice more saliva than normal the first few days. This is also
normal and will soon disappear. Eating may be awkward at first. You may want to
stay with soft foods for a day or two.
- Your expander is designed to widen your upper arch. As a result, you will
notice a large space between your front teeth. Do not be concerned. This space
will be present for only a short time.
- In the beginning, the appliance may make your teeth a little sensitive and sore
because of the pressure involved. It is also normal to feel brief pressure at the
nose and cheeks. If you feel uncomfortable we suggest that you take
whatever medication you would normally take for a headache.
- If you have any questions about your expander or treatment, feel free to
contact our office at any time.
