Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi, Nathalie and congratulations!!! Sorry, I can't remember whether you've told me this before, but did your ortho / surgeon tell you beforehand how long you were supposed to wear the expander? Mine wants me to wear one for the whole 6 months but I'm hoping she just doesn't want me to have any high expectations and actually just *might* remove it sooner.... Wishful thinking Thanks for the words of encougement, they are very needed as the time of my SARPE is getting closer! May the rest of your treatment be as smooth as it can be! - joplin > Hi guys, finally my expander is out, out, out! It's so good to feel > the roof of my mouth!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I got an initial estimate of wearing the expander for 4-6 months, I was lucky I had it in for a little less than 4 months! I was so surprised and happy when my ortho told me! Good luck with your SARPE.
