Metal Mouth Message Board

I have a upper jaw expander, this is day 2 and getting food caught between my expander and the roof of my mouth makes me want to vomit. What can I do about this .

I personally have never had a jaw expander, but have heard other people recommending a water flosser to get food out.

What kind of expander? The type you turn or a quad helix (or other) style ?

It's called a rapid palatal expander. It's got like a little nut thing I have to turn with a spanner every week.

Smaller bites of food, avoid stringy veggies, and chew thoroughly. And lots of water to help swallow.
