Looks like I got jipped! Only recieved:
travel toohbrush, wax, toothpaste, floss and threaders, and a cheap plastic travel bag that broke in 3 weeks. Booklet of the dos and don't too. Not much compared to others, hope that isn't any indication of the final outcome when i get these suckers off.

There are many different options for CPAP. Nasal Pillows and Nasal Masks will be fine. I'd probably stay away from the Full Face Mask though b/c it really drys your mouth out even with the heated humidity.

I had 4 teeth pulled (4th on each side). Huge gaps closed fast on the top in about 4 months. In month 8 now and still have small gaps on the bottom. My friends say that my face is actually looking wider believe it or not.

My front teeth moved really quickly and i was so excited. Now that i'm in month eight i havent seen much change. Its really frustrating not to see anymore changes so I'm ready to take them off. I still have 10-12 more months to go. Hopefully I'll see changes soon!!
