its $50.00 dollars at Sephora. Do you think its worth it? Thnx! :)
I have a palate expander now, and I've had it for about 6 months. When you first get it on, it's not so bad until about a few hours later. Just take like tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain. Try not to eat anything hard like chips or pretzels, until your mouth toughens up. Try like soups, jello, yogurt, mashed potatoes - soft foods, until you feel like you're ready to eat solid foods. After you get started eating solid foods, it's not bad at all. You're going to get food stuck between your expander and the roof of your mouth, just make sure you get it out. They told me it could cause infection. Your speech will be different for awhile, at least until you're used to that big plastic thing in your mouth. After awhile, you don't even know it's there and you're talking normally. Some words are hard to pronounce, but that's about it. I have a lisp with my S's, but it'll go away once I get it out so don't worry about permanent speech problems! I go back the 9th of this month, and hopefully they're taking mine out. It's a pain sometimes, but it'll totally be worth it in the end!! Good luck!! =]
Idk I want to find out more
Its going to be sore for a couple days but you will get used to it. For the first few days eat softer foods. Your speech will not be messed up you will get used to it and in a day or two your speech will be normal again. Good luck! I hope this helped.
