HEllo

I have a question,
Yall out there who wore expanders, after you got the gap on your upper 2 teeth how long did it take to close.
My gap is about 4mm and after i stopped turning the key.
It has been 1 and a half week and still no closing of the gap.....

Im tired of having this stupid gap, I talk like a fool trying to cover the gap up. Please Help

Honestly, my gap from the expander took about 1 week and a half to close. That was the shortest amount of time it closed in, it might have taken a little longer. Powerchains did the job real quick!
Good luck with yours and I hope you see some progress soon!
