It's called a "maxillary expansion appliance"...huh?!?! And the cost? $1400.00. Who thought up this contraption anyway? We never had this kind of thing growing up. I mean really. Our mouths were just fine.

"Because this is an orthopedic (bone) correction and not an orthodontic (tooth) correction, future orthodontic treatment (braces) may be needed depending on the future position of the permanent teeth."
Of course!!!
