[quote=Anonymous]There's so much growing that kids do anyway, and boys' faces especially can change a great deal with puberty. But having enough room for the adult teeth is huge. Back in the bad old days of extraction orthodontia, I had four adult teeth out (my first bicuspids) because the palate expander I'd had didn't work. As a result, my face shape is narrower than it should have been and my upper palate is narrower as well, which has led to breathing issues. If you trust that your orthodontist is recommending palate expansion for the right reasons (i.e. not just one size fits all) then I'd go with his/her recommendation.[/quote]
