Bracesshop expanders?
DIR By: Brosem1987

So I was wondering if anyone here can shed light on the
different types of expanders listed or why certain ones may be
better for certain malocclusions.
There is the basic one and then there's a few others with a
different amount of screws.
I'm just wondering if extra screws are necessary and if if they
could help more with cranial asymmetry?
Also is it possible to expand while doing NCR? Would you Leave
the expander in while getting it done and then adjust it after?

I've been wondering the same thing. There are expanders with
five screws. It appears that it may possibly cause foward
expansion. But, I've been unable to get much information on what
it exactly does.

Yeah it's difficult because there's not many who do diy Ortho.
We need to keep experimenting and sharing.
BTW does anyone know if it's possible to face pull with the
active plate?

Well the thing is that most dentists and orthodontists will not
use expanders for cosmetic reasons. They will use them in
extreme cases of narrow palates, if they choose to. I'm thinking
the expanders with 5 screws may be superior to others, because
it also creates forward expansion.

So with forward expansion that would give you more of a square
jaw?
How would you know when to adjust the forward screws?

Not a pro, but I believe that lower expansion might make you
look like the first slice of bread so be advised, it might not
make things better, plus when the upper widens and the lower
comes forward they should straighten or at least that is what
they say.

superior. I'm about to buy the one of them and also a lower jaw
expander. But before expanding my palate, I want to find a way
to make sure I won't have a longer face (because teeth tend to
extrude when expanding). Do you guys know a way to intrude
teeth? The post called "before and after" showed a case of a
girl treated with miniscrews that worked perfectly, but as I am
doing a "homemade" approach using a miniscrew is not an option
(I will not put a screw to anchor on my palate by myself, of
course). Maybe chewing mastic gum? I've heard invisalign can
intrude teeth, but it's a different method. Maybe something that
I can bite hard or something I can anchor above my head like a
helmet? I plan to intrude a bit my upper teeth to revert my
slightly gummy smile and my lower teeth which will make my chin
look smaller. I guess I've found a final plan for me, just need
to find this last solution. :)

If you want to retrude your teeth, just get traditional wire
braces. I doubt that is what you really want, as doing so has
only negative consequences. What's your situation? Do you have
overbite or underbite? Deep bite? Crooked teeth or spaces
between teeth?

The 5 screw expander is the only expander offering forward
growth. This may possibly help fix a recessed face.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find anyone who has used
it.

expansion can't be good. But it's true that if I protrude my
lower jaw (imagining my upper teeth are already expanded
forward), my jawline looks good enough, so maybe I don't need
it.

a square face and jaw like Dr. Mike Mew? If that is the case
that is what I'm looking for. I would also expand slowly until I
see a good enough result.

Here is an example of what I mean and I believe that the
triangle jaw is much more aesthetic, that is why I was thinking
of starting a topic some time ago if lower jaw expansion is
really better and worth it. I am no specialist, nor do I have a
lot of knowledge about stuff like this, so dont take my word too
seriously. I just know what your goals are and wanted to throw
this is in your favour, nothing more, nor less.
