Palate Expanders Ask The Orthodontist Ara Nazarian

Palate Expanders Ask The Orthodontist Ara Nazarian

Question:
Palate Expanders only for kids? Is there an age when palate expanders stop working?

Are they only effective for children? ... Visitor from PA

Answer:
Palate expanders are more efficient during adolescence because the bone is more pliable.

However, it can still work in adults to broaden an arch.
