Currently using a palatal expander the active plate one from bracesshop.
I’ve expanded a total of 3.5mm but what I have noticed know is that as my palate has expanded, the roof of my mouth is become more flat and wider which means it’s losing the height. However, the expander cannot change its shape and only just moves laterally when expanded. This causes it to be uneven in the mouth and the way it fits is changing.
Does anyone have experience with this? Do I have to shave down the acrylic and how do I do this?
