Answer 1

1. Yes, it does hurt. But they should give you "spacers" so it wont hurt as much

2. Mine made me have a lisp, lol but youll get use to it and your words become clearer

3. You will be doing some spit slurping

4.i had mine for like 6-10 months

5. I had braces with mine, but no, you dont need to have braces

7. They use these lil "plier" things it hurts a little (like pressure on your teeth, but its really fast

8. it can take from about 30mins-1 hr depending on how fast they work

9. No, but it will feel a little wierd since you were use to having it in for awhile, and youll be so realized its gone!

10. it takes like 5 minutes to 10 minutes at the most to take out (if that long)

11. I had to turn mine like twice a day,one in the morning one at night, and then it they told me to stop

12. It took me a really long time to learn to eat with it because food always got in the upper part of it since its a small space between the expander and the top of your mouth

It may look a lil scary

but it will all be worth it in the end

the hardest part for me was the soreness that lasted about a week

and then after that it was eating and talking

like when i talk alot of spit would get in my mouth and i talked all lispy lol

its was a lil embarrassing and funny

but after awhile its get better

also make sure you turn it as many times as they tell you and try not to miss a day so you dont have to wear it as long

I had to get 2 of them because the first one wasnt pushed up all the way one side

also there might be a lil bleeding

but nothing too dramatic

=D
