PASTORHEATHER You are soo welcome. After being two weeks now post surgery I look back and think wow that was easy I could def do it again. The day of the surgery I was not soo nervous I just kept the Rocky song in my head and it actually helped. LOL If anything my parents made me more nervous than I...

BADBITE Glad you have got yourself a new dentist that can help you. I have learned that sometimes a little bit more money goes a long way. I love my ortho now, at first I was a little skeptical as anyone would be with a new dentist that they don't know and I had no recommendations I just found him o...

Badbite, Ok I thought I had it bad, you just made me see the light. I went to the dentist today and both Dentist fixed everything. I had two men working on me at the same time I was like WOW.LOL My orhto had to actually take out my expander while my other dentist fixed my cap. They had to unturn my ...

Ok I am really felling like this whole thing was a mistake. I have a temporary crown in my mouth that the expander is resting on one side of my mouth. I have noticed that since I have been turning the expander that the cap has been lowering and it is moving the expander. Like if I bite I can put the...

CRAZYBEAUTIFUL Your posts were one of the first ones I read before my surgery that really helped me through this ordeal. Although I don't have an underbite, just a narrow upper jaw its all the same in the scheme of things. Same pain,, same ugly feeling. I am finding that people stare for a second an...

Phil, Thanks for the tip, half the time I don't think I am turning the dam expander correctly. The ugly gap is forming and I hate looking at myself in the mirror. My social life is pretty much at a holt until this thing is out of my mouth, which probably won't be until July. I am dreaming of a rack ...

Hello everyone I am back on my feet it has been 6 days since my surgery. I expected the worse which I guess was good because it wasn't as bad as I thought. The swelling was only bad for two days after surgery. For the most part I just had some discomfort and my nose only bled for the first day and o...

Thanks, for all the great support I really appreciate it and you have all helped me. They inserted the pallete this past Saturday. I was thinking wow not so painful until he turned it twice and I felt like my eyeballs were in the back of my brain.LOL After an hour I was ok but I felt awkward talking...

So I am having an upper pallete expansion done on Tues Jan 29th@7:00am. After looking through this website I figured it would be good to share my experience with everyone in the hopes that maybe when I am all done it well help someone else going through the same thing. This is the most nerve racking...
