Can someone help me about braces and expanders?
I have braces and my next appointment is on March 6th. I was told-on December 10th-that when they were putting in the braces, I was also going to be getting a palatal expander. I have brackets on every tooth, except for the last two teeth, along with the archwire. Now, my question is: how can you have an expander with braces at the same time? Did this happen to anyone else? Thanks for the help in advance.

My friend did too!
Her mum had to wind it for her i think it was every morning.
she started with top braces.
then got top and expander.
the expander did its work so quickly thagt she didnt have it for long at all and it worked really well! - she has a big gap between the front two teeth for a day while it was shifiting it around, but the next day it had fixed itself - so cute!
she got the expander off now bottom braces.
(her teeth were really messed up)
and shees had all this for maybe 6mnths.
her teeth already look great!
good luck!
