In my personal experience, the palate expander has been the worst (and most annoying!) part of the braces. But I hope you don't have them in for too long!
but there's a chance I'll need my upper jaw expanded too, it depends how well the braces work.
Oh, you just wait! That's one big ball of fun every single day you have the expander.
Anyway I'll stop rambling on now. Nice to meet everyone
The spacers actually don't hurt (yet) although biting down feels funny. They're really more annoying than anything, I just want to pick them out with some floss! But if I don't think about them, they don't hurt at all so far (however, it's only been 4 hours...I'll give it some time!)
