[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the palate expanders. [b]Every braces-wearing Gen Alpha kid got a palate expander, [/b]sometimes for years, which creates a Wallace & Gromit smile (Google it). Orthodontists push kids palates so far out that they all have this same weird cartoon smile when the braces come off.[/quote] Nope, not mine. There are still some reputable orthodontists left who don’t push this two-phase plan. Just wait til they’re teens.[/quote] Not mine either. One kid had 1 phase of braces and didn't want the expander in afterward, just promised to wear her retainers faithfully. Other kid really needed 2 phases, but has just done a removable expander and will get the teeth aligned in phase 2 in a year or two. You don't have to agree to everything the orthodontist wants to do.[/quote]
