Does an expander hurt?

Question

i know it will be sore after. but when there putting in on does it hurt? or is it like when there putting on your braces? im getting my expander on tomorrow and im really scared.

Answer 1

I just got my expander off recently and I didn't haven't any pains when I had it. It was a bit sore after I got it on but I felt nothing the rest of the time I had it on. The only trouble I had for a few days is that I talked funny.

Answer 2

Your mouth will be sore for a little while after they are put in.

But mine stopped hurting by the next day. I went back to school after I had mine put in.

To me the braces hurt worse than the expander.  

Answer 3

It is uncomfortable at first and you'll talk sort of funny for awhile. But give it a week at the most and you won't even notice its in! There is no pain involved at all!

Answer 4

It's no worse than braces so it can be a bit achey afterwards. You'll be fine. No need to be scared at all.

Answer 5

Thats so weird because I just got my palate expander in today!

And it didnt hurt a bit!!! The only part thats annoying, is that food will get stuck, up on the top. But you know, t*t doesnt hurt!
