21. Widening of the Upper Jaw with Semi Rapid Expansion in Orthodontics by Prof John Mew 

My orthodontist/dentists did the 4 extractions before my adult teeth erupted, expanders then braces, then retainers.The expander was turned in the morning and evening. I still have a child size mouth and I also had a chin implant put in when I was in my 20s because of a recessed chin. I have recessed gums and my bottom teeth ended up being crooked in the end. This was after tens of thousands of dollars my family wasted on orthodontics. Im glad this option is becoming more widely accepted. Even in elementary school I noticed my profile was different than other kids and I wish someone had recommended orthotropics.thank you for helping kids to not have to go through what I did.❤️

3:05-3:12 key takeaway, DO NOT ACCEPT EXPANSIONS THAT'S MORE THAN 1 MM PER WEEK

Are you talking kids or adults here?

5:10 SEMI RAPID RATE IS BEST OVER SLOW AND RAPID EXPANSION RATE

Very interesting. I have wondered about the rates of palatal expansion for my children as their time to possibly have them is coming soon. Thank you for taking care and time to share your thoughts, research and experience.

So what is the rate of slow rapid expansion he talks about at the very end of the video so I know to avoid that?

Thank you for posting.
