You have given me hope!! Did you notice any facial changes?

Thats so exctiing walkabout! I'm glads you had good results, sorry to hear it was painful for you though- pics would be great, thank u! Did u notice any widening of your face? I f you don't mind me asking actually, how old were you when you had it placed?

thanks, everyone! Yeah, i'm a bit apprehensive about the rpe and linguals!! But i researched a bit and it looks like they take impressions of your arch and design a bonding device made to that shape for application so looks like expander will have to wait till then. Please, if i'm wrong let me know ...

ooh this is encouraging! Nirrad, that appliance sounds great, wish my ortho offered it Thanks everyone for your response! Has anyone else had success?

Hi everyone- I have a question about RPEs in adults- I'll be having a hyrax, non surgical expansion.

hello!

Thanks!

Hey sadie- try the golden pages and look for an ortho in middleton..

Hi pearls! Don't worry, friend s of mine had braces while we were in college and they still had a blast! Nobody actually pays much attention to them when you're your age, in fact I bet most people will really admire you and/or be jealous of you! I know I'm jealous! I wish I had gotten braces when I ...

Thanks so much for your advice and wisdom. I'm fine. It's just when I set off I really didnt expect is to be so complicated! I am going to call a few more orthos and then make a choice. The ortho who suggested using headgear told me that bones dont' really totally fus, that there is alwyas some slig...
