This poor kid! Three days after Christmas he received his top braces and palatial expanders on the top and bottom of his teeth. He's been a real champ, not complaining too much, very little pain, although he's really only been eating yogurt. The excess saliva has been unreal - he slurps literally every 3 seconds but now that we are almost 2 weeks in with it, the salivary glands have calmed down. He also has quite a lisp.
Kimball has a very narrow bite in the shape of a U so this expander set is supposed to widen his bite like a rainbow arch shape. The braces he'll have for 2 years which is typical but I'm hoping he doesn't have to wear the expander that long!
