I've had my braces for almost 1 year.
Original Prognosis and details:
- 32 years old when braces were installed
- Damon Braces
- 24-30 months
- No SARPE
- Crossbite correction with elastics.
In less then a year I have had AMAZING palate widening. I have very very little pain. my WORST adjustment, I was sore for 4 days. Most adjustments I'm eating normally the very next day.
I don't want to imply this will work for everyone. But it has done beautifully for me. I personally am VERY glad I did NOT do SARPE.
