I m suppose to get my reverse pull headgear this Sunday (the only day my doctor is in) and today my expander snapped a little! I m really really scared that if my mom tightens it this afternoon it ll snap fully! And if I didn t my teeth would go back normal and everything would be for nothing! I have my expander for 2 weeks now and this Sunday I m getting the headgear I have to tighten it twice a day once in the morning (I did that) and once in the afternoon which is still to come! I don t have my doctors number. What should I do? Should I tighten it normally or?
Hello, You must contact your dentist an explain the situation to be told the proper steps. If you are sure there is a crack, I suggest that you do not adjust any further until you contact the dental office. Maybe there is another dentist that can see you before your scheduled visit, or you can be seen sooner. Look for contact information. You must know the location of the office and the dentist that specializes in braces is an orthodontist. I thank you for your inquiry. I hope my comments are helpful.
