[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with getting second and even third opinions. While I am certain there are good reasons for a relatively small number of kids younger than 12 or 13 starting down the orthodontia path I have never heard a good explanation for why it's become so widespread over the last 20+ years. [/quote] Because you can't do an expander after about 9 years old - you need to do it while still growing. People are trying to avoid or minimize orthodontal work later by preventing problems earlier.[/quote]
