Need help! my palate expander came out! how can i put it back on?

You shouldn't: Palatal expanders are carefully fitted in the mouth. If the appliance has become dislodged, it can be distorted or partially broken. Your doctor is in the best position to evaluate its condition and determine the next appropriate step in your treatment. Call him/her.
