Palatal Expander

The palatal expander expands your upper jaw by putting gentle pressure on your upper molars each time an adjustment is made. Dr. Wagner will instruct you on when and how to adjust your expander. When you achieve the desired expansion, you will wear the appliance for several months to solidify the expansion and to prevent regression.
