Expander Information!!?!?!?

Question

so im getting expanders put in tomorrow. can anyone give details about how they are like? please and thank you.

Answer 1

well i'm sure you were looking for a happy answer... they hurt.

Answer 2

i dunno if you mean the spacers that go between your teeth or an expander that goes in the roof of your mouth but the spacers hurt pretty bad but the expander is ok...the only thing i had a problem with is keeping food out of it and also i started making this weird sucking sound all the time...i didnt realize i did it until it started getting on the familys nerves...i stopped after i got it taken out...but you might not do that so yea...they are irritating though just to let you know...
