How do palatal expanders work for crossbite?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Palatal expansion does not have a lot of effect on your lips, but it definitely improves your smile and esthetics as your teeth will follow your lower lip. There is a crossbite which means that you would only need maxillary expansion and mandibular expansion is not necessary for crossbite situations. I hope this information will be helpful. Thank you.
