Hi all
my name is Daniel and I am a 22 year old male, based in the UK. Obviously if I am going to make serious changes, it has got to happen now rather then later. It’s a kinda now or never situation as I will run out of time unless change is made now.
Am looking to build a palatal expander to gain tounge space and more lateral space as my mid face is certainly undeveloped, Have even had an orthodontist say this to me whilst taking moulds. I do suffer from an overbite aswell and can just about mew comfortably, although feels like one side is gaining more stimulation then the other, which is why i think the expander will come in handy to open up more space and cure some of the asymmetry issues and potential cross bite. Who mews with teeth together or slightly apart? Would be interesting to know
ive ordered the expander mechanism so just need to fabricate it into a working unit with acrylic, bends ect
what are your thoughts on how I can get started on my Orthotropics
Am planning to share my progress throughout
Appreciate the help in advance
Together, you should most definitely use a palate expander if you think you're in that much of a situation. Also palate expanders are honestly a superior alternative than using your tongue in adults.
