Orthodontic Treatment for Narrow Upper Jaw with Functional Shift - Expander or Spacer

When upper jaw or dental arch is narrow patient needs to slide the jaw to one side in order to fit the teeth together. This shift is called functional shift. Expansion is required to address this issue.

    I had this exact same problem. Got SARPE surgery and expanders.. wore the expanders for almost a year. It was difficult to speak because your tongue would always get bruised from the expander, teeth are always sore. Teeth get stained and you can't even brush properly because of the expanders. But after everything i went through i would like to say it was totally worth it!

    If you don't mind me asking, why did you have to wear for a year? Did they expect you to have to wear them that long of a time or did they tell you that 3 months was an approximate adjustment time for the bone to reform? Thank you

    So, did your face become more symmetrical? and if you don't mind if I ask, do you still need post-treatment after release the expanders? cause I think it will go back to the original place before you use the expander

I've known about mewing since i was about 11, so i've been conciously doing that and i'm 14 rn. Not a damn thing changed about my teeth, can't really give a testimonial about how it made my maxilla and mandible foward and upward as i've always had that.

    Waterbaby Oxox i'm not them however my bottom jaw was crooked, i could tell bc my centre line was not lined up with my top set of teeth. the rubberbands pulled my jaw over in order to make it line up. it did make my jaw even. however now half of my mouth has an open bite so it's still a bit off, but it should help symmetry especially if the unsymmetry is about your jaw :-)

I have neck pain and right shoulder pain and the shoulders are uneven. My right limbar side is compressed and the left QL hurts. My right leg feels shorter and my hips are uneven. I am a mouth breather for almost 5 years caused by a deviated septum. Can you tell me, please… Jaw was affected by mouth breathing and then my posture was affected? From where I should start? I should start to treat my deviated septum and then my jaw? I used braces till age of 18, till then I had no problems with back, then the problems started…
