I'm unfamiliar with this device and the surgery you had, what are they trying to acheive here? Widening of your palette?

Surprisingly it wasnt as painful as it looks... However I had A LOT of swelling and discomfort!
The procedure I had done is called Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion or SARPE for short. I had the surgery to correct a narrow top jaw. Unfortunately I couldn't even get braces without having this procedure :-\
