What Does a Palate Expander Do?

A palate expander gently widens the upper jaw to correct issues like crossbite, overcrowding, and narrow arches. By applying light, consistent pressure over time, it helps guide bone growth while a child’s mouth is still developing. This makes room for permanent teeth, improves bite alignment, and can even enhance breathing by opening up nasal passages. It’s a common early orthodontic treatment recommended by specialists to prevent more complex dental issues later on.

Do palate expanders hurt?

Palate expanders don’t typically cause sharp pain, but some mild pressure or discomfort is normal—especially in the first few days of use or after an adjustment. Most kids describe it as a feeling of tightness or pressure behind the nose or teeth, which usually fades quickly. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if needed, and the discomfort generally decreases as the mouth adjusts. If pain persists or worsens, it’s important to contact your orthodontist to check the fit or movement.
