Thanks for the replies! Guess I can likely expect to be wearing these babies for some time to come. It's good to know that some of you have worn them for awhile, as I had been under the misconception that it was a last step. At least now I won't get my hopes up that the end is in sight. Thanks!

Expander is out!
Wahoo! :D I got my RPE out yesterday afternoon. My mouth feels so...naked now. Well, semi-naked. Topless maybe. Anyway, I'd gotten used to talking funny, and not being able to touch the roof of my mouth, so it feels so strange to be back to normal. Although it feels strange now (and the roof of my m...

Manda, go ahead and ask for them. I don't see why you can't have color. My assistant showed me a color card and I got to choose. So next time you're in, get your colors - why not get pink and blue together?? That'd be fun! And who cares if you sound silly...they're your braces, and if you want to be...
