Active Expander Review
DIR By: nicolettemala

I bought the active Expander from Bracesshop. It is a pretty
good piece for the most part. I have turned about 11 times.
There is a con and it crossed my mind before I bought it but I
was too excited to wait.
It molds to the exact form of your mouth, so as you expand and
your palate hopefully gets lower, the height of the piece
doesn't change so it slips down a little. The front and sides
try to push your teeth out a bit. Does anyone else have this
expander?

I recently ordered mine, and I have about two weeks to wait for
it to arrive.

11x0.25= about 2.75mm of expansion for you? Does this seem to be
about what happened?
Typically in treatment a patient undergoing lots of expansion
will have to periodically have new expanders fitted. I was told
by a professional that I needed 8+mm of expansion and that it
may happen with one expander or I may need two. However many
people have gotten 8+mm of expansion using only a single
expander, so it is possible that the impressions that you sent
in were not perfect and this resulting in slipping over time. I
took impressions myself and then went and got impressions taken
professionally at a dental office: The difference in resolution
of the palate/teeth was MASSIVE with the material the dentist
used compared to the impression material sent by BrShop.
Are you attempting to expand any further, or have you decided to
stop as a result of the slipping? I am currently attempting to
get in touch with dental labs to see if expanders can be made
cheaply and locally, would you intend to continue expansion?
Also, because this forum has been abandoned by the owners and
moderators I am hoping this community can shift to a new
website:
HTML http://the-great-work.org/community/
I would greatly appreciate if you could post your review and the
effects of the appliance there for other users who are either
waiting to receive the expander or considering making an order.
I am hoping to archive a list of success stories as well as
their rates of expansion/amount of expansion so that we aren't
constantly losing research potential when users go away and
delete posts.

Hello! Thanks for your response. Maybe it is the quality of the
mold, but I honestly think it's the engineering. When my palette
expands, it gains width and loses height..the mould itself does
NOT lose height, so the lowering of my palate from stretching
eventually comes at odds with the expanders original form. I do
want to stretch more, I was planning on using up all of the
turns but since I am gaining more width and the expander doesnt
change, it has been pushing my front teeth forward (not visibly
noticeable, but I can feel the back of my front tooth is exposed
more, because there is a chip like feelings there.) I would like
to get an expander that is simply the metal spanning from side
to side, and not the plastic which is moulded to the exact form
of your teeth and palate.I think it would allow more work to be
done and effect your front teeth less.
I would love to move forward with that forum. Thank you for the
link!
