How to Turn Your Expander

Step by step instructions

Hi everyone! Dr. Meg here. I’m going to guide you step by step through turning your expander.

  1. First, you’ll want to tip your chin to the sky. In the middle of the expander, there is a little hole. That is where the key is going to go. Take your key in hand, and you will notice that there is a little line on it that will show you when you’ve gone far enough.
  2. Next, you’ll line it up with the hole in the expander and plug it inside of it. Then, you’ll push down and back. When you do that, a new hole will advance in the palate expander.
  3. At this point, you’ll want to take it our directly backward and lift it out of your mouth. It shouldn’t hurt, but just feel a little stretchy, and that’s it! You’re done! Watch the video above for a visual example. If you have any questions, just give us a call or come on by!
