[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here- and no, expanders can be used beyond ages 8-11. As mentioned, I had one as an adult for 4 months (maybe longer) before my braces were put on. Any dentist or ortho saying otherwise is lying and just taking advantage of a parent who doesn't know any better and is fearful if they don't purchase the expander now, it will forever affect their child's teeth. [/quote] My best friend growing up had a palate expander in 8th grade. There is a lot of quackery in orthodontic care, and parents pay a lot of money for it. Not a lot of evidence-based practice out there.[/quote]
