Gum Expander

[Deleted member 246792]

I have an appointment to check whether I need a palate (or gum) expander. What should I tell them so that my insurance will cover it?
Also, what should I ask for to ensure maximum maxillary growth?

Not as simple as that. They’ll xray and see that his airways are fine if he doesn’t

Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion

it’s attached to your rooftop with screws and it’s very effective if you’re still developing

Say that your tounge doesn't fit in your mouth. Before going there bite the sides of your tounge really hard so that when they check it they can see the redness and believe you

Every Ortho is different.
If I were to visit a different Ortho in my city I'd maybe get a palate expander, if I go broader maybe Lefort 1 or Bimax.
I can't really change my Ortho so I'm stuck for now.
