A member asked:

Frog appliance for palatal expansion .how long should be used?( girl , 13 )narrow jaw

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different: Everyone's different. Depends on amount to be expanded, number of turns per day amount of palatial suture fusion, etc. frog appliance most often used for molar distalization rather than palatial expansion. Ask your specialist Orthodontist.
