Okay so we all know bone borne expansion is better, tooth borne expanders work aswell but can result in more dentoalveolar side effects.
What if one could break off the metal parts that protrude from the expander so that it doesn’t touch and latch on to the teeth and use it as a medium for palatal expansion. This sounds retarded but what if you covered the whole surface area of the expander on the side that touches your palate with double sided tape, so it doesn't touch the teeth at all. It still isn't better than something bone borne but it shouldn't cause tipping or shit like that.
Thoughts?
