First of all i don't think you should be taking off your expander because if that's what your orthodontist wants you to have in your mouth than you should listen to him. If you arnt going to listen to him the i would think a good pair of pliers would work.

How do i survive with a palate expander?

Well, it is very difficult, but here are some helpfull tips, (You get used to it after a while) Cut up your food into smaller pieces then you normally would, so you dont have to chew as much. When you put the food inside your mouth, chew with only one side, and one side only, because if you keep going bakc and forth with the chewing on differant sides, it's easier for the food get stuck in your expander. When the food is all chewed up, kinda push it back to the back of your mouth then swallow right away, yes it is going to be hard, but again, you will get used to it. Wash it down with your drink :) Hope I helped somewhat.

What does an expander look like in your mouth?

An expander is a dental device often made of metal and acrylic. It typically resembles a thin, arch-shaped appliance that fits over the upper palate and has screws on the sides. When activated, it gradually widens the upper jaw by applying pressure to the teeth. Expanders can be fixed or removable, and they may be noticeable in the mouth but are designed to be comfortable with time.

How do you get stuck food out of an expander?

To remove stuck food from an expander, gently rinse your mouth with warm water to loosen debris. Use a soft toothbrush or an interdental brush to carefully clean around the expander, ensuring you reach all the nooks and crannies. Flossing can also help dislodge any trapped food particles. If necessary, a water flosser can provide an effective way to clean around the appliance.
