Do teeth tip back after using a removable expander?
I haven't seen any tipping with my palate expander, and I'd be surprised if it actually happens.
When you chew, your teeth come together, just like the teeth of a zipper. If there was tipping, it's probably self corrected by this process.
what expander are you using?
im currently using the yplate expander but looks as if I’m molars have tipped slightly and I am having resistance expanding any further. Currently on 8.75mm and can not turn every other day like I used to so I’m actually turning every 3-5 days which I read some people are doing.
@thomas22 nice mate best of luck with it what was your starting IMW
@s1m0 And you too my friend.
I thought it was 36.4, that's what I remembered, but looking at my paperwork from the doctor, it may have been 38.4mm.
With your Y-plate, does it have three screws? If so, what is the measurement of one screw turn from each side? Would it be .125mm for a combined total of .25mm for both?
@averive On the y plate from bracesshop I received, one turn is 0.4mm. So in theory if you were to do a full turn on both L and R it would be 0.8mm
@s1m0 Damn 8.75s pretty good, almost at a centimeter. What imw u start out with?
I suspect lower appliances are unnecessary. Your lower jaw will probably remodel to match your upper.
