Discussion How do I get my hands on a palate exapnder for free at 16

[Deleted member 64410]

I wanna get a palate expander without spending any money but don’t know how, this is a basic question but googles not giving me anything

For extra intel Where I live orthodontics are free for under 18s but I’m not sure if that only applies for health reasons only

well yeah orthodontics is only free for people with severe issues, they wouldn't let you get it for cosmetic reasons

they'll take xrays and shit before deciding but yes that can be an approach
since you're getting an expander what's your intermolar distance? it much be pretty low for them to consider
