Uxbridge Braces Orthodontist- Expander Appliance to Create Space and Correct Crossbite
Comments: http://www.mcosmiles.com Before a child stops growing, we are generally able to widen the upper jaw using the expander appliance (also known as a hyrax, RPE, RME). The line down the middle of the upper jaw is actually unfused in younger patients, allowing us to move the right and left sides of the jaw gradually apart. This suture is fused in adults so expanders in adults generally cause tipping of the teeth rather than true bone expansion. |
