Expanded the maxilla 8mm and mandible 9mm at 18 years old and am now finishing with invisalign (tray 20/32) at 20 years old. My palate width went from ~37mm at the second molar to ~45mm at the third molars. The expansion stage took about 1 year. Oh and sorry about the bad camera quality in the...

as the name says, expands the palate, this one expands it more dentally than skeletally,

Will the detachable affect bone or do they just move teeth?

both if i expand semi rapidly, its a whole lot less effective then mse though

I bought it before i was less knowledgeable

update

my upper jaw looks wider than my lower

this expander just made me notice

my left back molar on my lower jaw is tipped due to eruption of my wisdom tooth on that side

I would advise you to stop and not do it. Your upper jaw will be wider than your bottom and your teeth misaligned.
stupid idea imo. go to orthodontist.

should I just save up for mse+msdo then?

should I just save up for mse+msdo then?

yes. you're 17. go live your life. save. talk to professionals when you're 21/24 and officially done growing according to science.
