A palatal expander is a powerful tool we use to create space, improve smiles, and support healthy breathing. ✨ By gently widening the upper jaw, expanders can reduce crowding, make room for teeth to come in naturally, and enhance facial balance and aesthetics. Even more importantly, expansion can increase nasal airway volume, which may support better breathing and sleep especially in growing kids. It’s not just about straighter teeth. It’s about building the foundation for a healthier smile and a healthier airway. 👄💨 #orthodontist #expander #airwayorthodontist
