Where on earth do we get palate expander for DD?

[Rivermonkey]

My DD1 has a very high, narrow palate and I think this is causing her ENT issues (mouth breathing, snoring etc). We were referred to ENT who basically said they wouldn't do anything because she could still breathe a bit at night and mouth breathing and snoring aren't a problem (which I know is BS). I've then looked into palate expanders and myofunctional therapy to help. I've bought a myomunchee and remplenish myonozzle for her to use but I think she will need palate expansion as her teeth are already so crowded and she finds it hard to close her mouth.

I've contacted various orthodontists but no one seems to offer this. So where do I actually go to get this done? I know it will need to be private. I live near derby and nottingham if anyone knows anywhere remotely local to this!

A good orthodontist can do this using clear aligners.

Just noticed where you live and it is not local to me so cannot recommended anyone but definitely keep looking.

See Rachel at stoar valley. She's brilliant

You may have found somewhere by now but my Dd went to no1 orthodontist in mickleover and they were amazing. I found it very difficult to find one that would treat younger children rather than teens, DD was 7 when she started her treatment.

Happy kids dental in London. It was a long process but DS can finally breathe and eat properly. Good luck.

Hi OP,

I hope you managed to find a good orthodontist to fit a suitable palate expander.

May I ask if REMplenish helped at all? I am looking to get it for my son who is 6 and has early signs of high palate, but his case is not severe. it is costly, wondering if it is worth trying.

Thank you.
