Palatal expansion and chewing question
By: ThaGangsta Date: August 27, 2017, 7:25 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I will be using a homemade removable bone-bound palatal
expander, which I will wear every night for 9-14 hours and for
the remainder of the day will practice proper tongue posture and
chew for 1-2 hours to maintain and stabilize the expansion. My
desired expansion is 10 mm and I intend to attain maximum
skeletal results, with high stability and minimal possibility of
relapse. How many times should I turn the expander screw per
week for this? Also is there a limit for how much expansion the
mandibular teeth can compensate for? Will there be a point that
I cross which will result in a scissor bite?
Another question I have is that I occasionally bite my tongue
when my molars miss the gum that I am chewing. It is always the
same spot as well, and because I am chewing with such high
force, it results in immense pain, lots and lots of blood, and a
sore, hurt tongue afterwards for days, making it also difficult
to swallow and talk. What causes this and how can I prevent
this?
I am 17 years old, if that is relevant.

May you please elaborate more about your homemade expander?

It is the one on facepulling.com, made from the expander screw
and acrylic. So the mouthpiece will be an expander as well as
for a headgear attachment, which I will wear overnight. Would
you recommend setting the headgear to pull the maxilla at 54
degrees, as shown in the diagram with monkey test subjects

Hey! Great commitment. Mike Mew says to turn 3 times a week,
which is about the equivalent of 1mm..the maximum rate in which
the tissue of the midpalatal suture can adapt.
