Yo guys I (newly 17) going to the dentist soon and when i was making the appointment it asked my questions about my concerns with my smile and i said i want to have a 10 tooth smile instead of a 6 or 8, i also mentioned that i have trouble breathing at night, i rlly dont have that much trouble breathing but i put that in hopes. this desntist office also seems like its goal is to improve smile. I'm trying to get a palate expander so what would be good things to tell them in person, in an attempt to see an orthodontist and get and expander, also what's a good expander to get i heard there's 3 way ones and such. i know they don't ask you to choose but i was hoping someone on here knows what the best one to request for is. Also, does expander cause you to look recessed. even if it didn't improve my facial esthetics i still need one for palate width in general cause its hard to mew, my tongue has to squeeze to fit inside palate. i am also not getting any teeth removed no matter what casue im not gonna get cooked.

(i think they're going to take x rays too)

anyways lmk thanks im fairly new to orthodontics.

pretty sure you won't get recessed as the aim is to make the maxilla more outward

palate expander at your age will have very minimal facial structure changes

cope harder bro u'll get the palate expander for sure ur dentist wont judge u fr wanting a 10 tooth smile fr
 
im getting my marpe tommorow i told my orthodontist that i have trouble with sleep(mouth breathing) and the mf took 3 looks in my mouth and said fuck it imma give u 10 mm expansion
 
Get the expander for better smile(only aesthetic improvement you will likely have from palatal expansion) say your insecure about bad smile and also cant fit tounge on top of your mouth (say your meant to be able to and all) Just do a little dive into pros of getting it and say what that pro helps with is ya problem
