Relief and joy: Palatal expander will cause some irritation to your gum due to hard ot access oral hygiene effort, localized gum inflammation, localize food impaction, interferene with the tongue function and movement, straining on your tooth. Your gum underneath may have sore spot and even bleeding. Brush and floss area clean. Notify your dentist if you see any unexpected tooth movement or relapse.
