A member asked:
My orthodontist said that an upper palatal expander will encourage the growth of the lower reducted jaw in a 7 year old. is this correct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If u jaw too smal can interfere with position and growth of l jaw. Listen to your Orthodontist. He/She is giving you good advice. Orthodontists are Dento-facial Growth & Development Specialists. And the sooner it's done the better.
