Hi Everyone,
I got bottom braces and an expander yesterday and I can't stop drooling. As we speak I have a cloth in my mouth so I will not drool on my computer. Has this happened to any one else if so what did you do?

You're salivating, not drooling... Your mouth hasn't figured out that the expander isn't food. Give it a couple of days.

I've been drooling at night because with my new braces, it's hard to close my mouth to keep it in, and if I put my teeth together, a tooth on top hits and hurts a tooth bracket below. It's hard to compromise!
