15 months ago, they put in upper and lower braces and an W-arch expander all in one visit. Today the expander came out. I had forgotten how good it feels to have nothing there pushing against your tongue. It successfully straigtened/ pushed my teeth out ( \ to l ) So now they are working on aligning all of them. Progress, thank goodness.
This is huge and I totally understand where you're coming from! I'm going on about 20 months myself & still counting. Enjoy your new found freedom!!!! It's sooo great to have the roof of your mouth back, I bet!!!
