Can you gimme some information about expandable jaw retainer?

Q. Hi Dr. Moore, I,ve heard of a new type of expandable jaw retainer that you wear behind your teeth to widen a narrow smile. I’m very interested in learning more about this, but I’m having trouble finding any info on it. Is it just too new right now? If you know anything about this, I’ll take all the info/suggestions you have. How long do you think it would have to stay on? How much would it cost? What’s it called? Could any Dentist/Ortho do it? Also, are ALL dentist’s considered cosmetic dentist’s or should I look for one that specailizes in it. Thank You.

A. You should look for a dentist with experience in the field you are thinking of. These braces are a very traditional design and not new at all. Find a local Orthodontist and ask them for a consultation to see if its suitable.
