Q. Dear Dr., im wearing expanders (upper jaw) and suppose to remove it next week.then il be getting my bracers to push my teeth back which are abit forward earlier.. but my front teeth have come EVEN MORE FORWARD now and looks bad than earlier. so my quetion is, other than creating gaps between teeth, does the expanders causes teeth to come forward?can this be corrected?

A. hi many thanks for your email, the expander will expand the whole jaw so yes initially this will cause all the teeth to move outwards. the brace will then be placed to then bring the teeth all back into allignment and close the gaps, this should then solve the problem. hope this is helpful.
