Hey all, I got my key activated upper-arch expander in a couple of days ago. I can put in the key just fine, but there's one problem that kind of concerns me. When I turn it, sometimes when I try and take out the key, it will "unwind" a little bit. When that happens, I unwind it all the way so it doesn't get uncalibrated then push it back towards my tonsils again.
Is this ok or is the fact that it is unwinding sometimes a real problem?
