Why do they let this happen if they know the palate is going to be expanded?

Can't they fucking place some braces to have a controlled expansion?

I think they do put braces on after two months when the expansion is complete.

His before isn’t bad. It is about what mine is now after .22” of slow expansion.
 
They put them on afterwards.

The sutures expand faster than the teeth move through the alveolar bone, so they don't bother to put them on at the beginning.
