Gregory has a small mouth, and his teeth need alignment. Since a beautiful smile is so highly valued, Greg will wear braces. There is not enough space in Greg's mouth for all his teeth to fit properly. There are two ways to make room. One is extraction: teeth are removed to create more space. The second is expansion: the palate is made larger by using an expander.
Greg received an expander yesterday. Now his mouth is sore and he speaks funny. He will wear it for six months. Hopefully he will get used to it soon.
