SARPE - How much did you expand?

[Nathaniel]

Hi everyone, I have an ortho appointment on Tuesday afternoon where I assume they will see if I have expanded enough. Currently, I'm at 9.75mm, by the time I see them I would be at 11.25mm. I feel that's a lot, but, maybe not? I know every case is different and I'm going to call their office tomorrow morning but I don't believe their open, so I'll call on Monday morning if not, but I would like to see the average in the forums here.

Cheers!

10mm, but I've heard of some people doing up to 13mm. I think anything over that would be crazy... expanders don't even go past that.

I havent expanded yet but i was told it would be 10mm

i had a different kind of expander from most people.... mines look like a tire jack.... If Im not mistaken I had 6-8mm of expansion during surgery and after turning the 1st 7 days at 1mm a day I was told to turn 1.5 mm a day for 5 days bringing my total expansion to about 22mm

I'll be posting pics of that sometime in the near future... its been 4 months since surgery and 3.5 months since I stopped turning.
