Unfortunately, there is no way to make the pain go away. I would recommend taking medicine like Tylenol or Advil, this won't get rid of the pain entirely, but it will definitely help get rid of some pain.
Yes, a lot of times you'll get the expander before your braces, just so you get used to it and so the teeth are ready for braces. Many people, in their early stages of braces have both an expander and braces,.
Yes, typically after receiving a palate expander, patients often need braces. The expander is used to widen the upper jaw, creating more space for teeth alignment. Once the expansion is complete, braces are usually applied to straighten and properly align the teeth. This combination helps achieve optimal results for dental alignment and bite correction.
braces could ruin your teeth
Rather than removing teeth, my children were fitted with retainers that changed the shape of their upper palate to fit their teeth. We cranked the retainer a quarter turn every week for almost a year. This allowed the second row of teeth to realign and for others to come down as they should. At the end of that time, they could have had a short time with braces, but we decided that things looked great. that 'retainer' placed on the upper hard palate is actually called an expander. it literally breaks you maxilla bone, leaving room for more teeth and making it easier for braces.
Why would you want braces?
You could be seven or older to get braces because it depends if all of your little teeth fell out.
Complain about your teeth You dont. You go to the orthodontist. Actually, it's only NEEDED if you have an overbite or a crossbite or an under bite. Or if you have crooked teeth. Braces are VERY expensive, and I tell you, they are NOT fun to have! You cant eat sugar for 6 weeks or else you teeth will rot where they glued the square on.
the food you eat can get caught in your braces, leaving bacteria that could stain your teeth. then they turn yellow like the sun

An orthodontist can put braces on your teeth
The gap between your two front teeth may remain while using an expander and braces, but it typically starts to close as treatment progresses. The duration can vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of the spacing and how well your teeth respond to treatment. Generally, you might expect the gap to begin closing within a few months, but complete closure can take longer, often around 6 months to a year. Regular adjustments and following your orthodontist's instructions will help achieve the best results.
