Appliances for Mouth Expansion

On this page you can learn all about Mouth Expansion

Please note…  Consider the expansion of the palate or jaw before the release to ensure there is enough room for the tongue to sit properly for correct tongue posture.  For example,  a tongue may not fit comfortably in a high narrow palate.  An expansion can help open up the airway as well.

Myofunctional therapy is necessary along with an appliance so the muscles hold all the expansion. Using devices for jaw growth is actually treating the symptom. The cause is the oral muscles not doing their job correctly. Therefore, frenulums must be checked so all the muscles can move with ease

It is highly suggested to research if the dentist has special training:
