How do I take care of my expander?
These home care instructions should be followed if you or your child has a fixed upper expander. Please do not eat or chew on anything hard or sticky, such as most candy products, chewing gum, ice, or meat bones. Please brush the expander twice a day on both cheek sides and the roof of the mouth. Please turn the key as instructed (this varies from patient to patient) and return for a follow up in 4-5 weeks. If the follow-up appointment needs to be rescheduled, please STOP turning the expander and call the office to reschedule.
