In this segment, Bill Hang explains that since 2015 he has incorporated expansion of both the upper and lower dental arches for a patient (referred to as 'she'). The expansion aims to improve aesthetics and increase tongue space, reflecting common patient desires. However, he notes a drawback: the expansion can cause slight tooth tipping, which may make the teeth appear less ideal in photographs or dental models, deviating from textbook expectations.
