They had trouble getting the band around the left adult molar and put it on the tooth just forward instead. As a result the expander is at an angle. Will she still have the desired result of a wider upper palate? </p> http://bracesquestions.com/braces/forums/topic/headgear#post-145 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:32:00 +0000 sbm100 145@http://bracesquestions.com/braces/forums/ <p>what does headgear work and what does it do </p> http://bracesquestions.com/braces/forums/topic/wire-in-back-of-teeth-broke#post-140 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:52:26 +0000 sensfan91 140@http://bracesquestions.com/braces/forums/ <p>Good afternoon, i was just wondering how important the wire in back of my teeth is.
