If you’re like most people, your palate is constantly expanding. You eat and drink more than ever before, and your teeth and gums are constantly fighting for space. This constant expansion can lead to plaque and bacteria build-up on your teeth, which can cause bad breath, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. To clean your palate expander and prevent these problems, follow these simple steps:

  1. Wet your mouth with water or saliva.
  2. Swish the water around in your mouth for a few seconds to loosen any plaque or food particles.
  3. Spit the water out into a sink or toilet bowl.
  4. Rub your tongue against the back of your upper teeth (the molars). This will remove any food particles that have stuck to the tongue surface.
  5. Spit out any remaining debris from the tongue surface or molars with a tissue or handkerchief. ..
