I have “appliances” as well. Expanders but not palate expanders. The top is pushing my front teeth out and the bottoms are pushing my back teeth backwards! I got them on 9/27/17 and I can see a change already! I call them torture devices!! They really do suck but I have gotten used to them. The wors...

I got my spacers today! Upper and lower expanders go on next Monday! Glad to finally get started and reeeeally praying the expanders work!!

I don't know what my measurements are tho... maybe they will tell me next week?

I got my spacers today! It feels like I have beef jerky stuck between my teeth! Haha! I'll get upper and lower expanders next Monday. I'm super nervous for that but glad to just get the process started.

I can't see pics yet...trying to get a lot of post in so I can see them! Im hoping to get an expander so that I don't have to have extractions. :/

I feel like time is going so slow right now....because I'm not started yet! Lol

I know you are so excited! Can't wait for my turn!

Can't see pics yet! Trying to get my few post out of the way so I can see before and afters!

I wish I could see pics! I'll come back when I get enough posts!
