Just got my palate expander

Did you get headgear tubes on yours? There was an option on bracesshop.com for it, did you get it?
Nah I didn’t get it, I kind of felt that it would be uncomfortable af and I wouldn’t be able to wear it at night because of it

Just got my palate expander. Lifefuel

Current stats:
1. 40.8mm intermolar width
2. Somewhat hollow cheeks with a somewhat noticeable ogee curve
3. Recessed maxilla and mandible
4. Very Narrow mouth (my mouth is only slightly wider than my nose jfl)
5. 8 teeth smile

Goals:
1. 48mm-50mm intermolar width
2. Very noticeable hollow cheeks and very prominent over curve
3. Fix my recessed maxilla and mandible
4. Achieve a wide mouth in hopes of fixing my shit mouth to nose ratio
5. 12 teeth smile

I’m going to do a multiple month transformation with this and let you know the results. Let me know if you want to be tagged in my future palate expander transformation post. Also let me know if you have any questions and let me know what you think about this.

The last inter molar should ideally be the widest part of the palate so probably around 50-60mm

@xnj ideal last intermolar width could also go up to 65 maybe even 70mm but you’d likely need to have a high IPD and wide mandible along with it otherwise you’ll likely look weird

Is the upper palate normal?

No. It’s very narrow. Your teeth are caving inwards which shows your suboptimal palatal width development
Why does this happen? Why?

Yeah I got all 4
i must say having an extra tooth looks so bad ass when i open my mouth in fornt of the mirror, according to xrays i wont need any extractions, im so lucky i never got mutilated by any organ or body part removal, braces etc and i think the vaccine jab i got was a placebo also, lucky me

Do you need to get it custom fitted as the website offers?

thanks

I used the expander but only turned the key for sagitall growth which is why I haven’t experience any palate expansion. As far as forward growth goes I probably only gained about 0.5mm to 1mm of maxillary forward growth using it in combination with thumbpulling

41mm imw is decent width. If your teeth are a bit crowded, tongue doesn’t fit in mouth, or your face is too narrow I suggest expanding, however if this is not the case then I don’t recommend expanding laterally at least

My face is already wide af so I decided to avoid expanding my palate as I will likely become uglier. However I am in the process of moving the palate forward with the expander and will likely get bimax in the future

Narrow or thin? Narrow? There’s a mouth expander thread on org for it or u can get surgery. Thin? Lip filler

Stopped expanding laterally as I’m afraid my face will be too wide. As far as sagitall expansion goes I’d say my maxilla moved about 0.5mm - 1mm forward. Also for some reason having this appliance in my mouth makes jutting easier.

Honestly, this is impressive.
Do you think that at 17 or mid-16 you would still be working?
I want to cut it to see what my bones are like, and measure my palate.
I intend to go to the dentist and ask for it, if they don't provide it to me I'll put it in myself.

1. Yea for sure. I’m 18 and doing it. The younger the better of course
2. If your IMW is greater than 39mm, it’s unlikely that your dentist will give you a palate expander
