Hi all, a very relieved and expander-free Zita here. Now have the arch in place and what a difference it makes. Very easy to take out and painless. Felt I had a huge mouth when it came out. Tongue needed time to settle.

I speak with a slight lisp but it is easier to understand me and food goes down much more easily - was chopping up chocolate a few nights ago and sticking it to top of mouth, such joy after all these weeks. Gap has reduced to about 8.5mm which is apparently normal. 4 teeth out next week so will have gaps equalling 1.9mm on top as of Weds! Bit worried that remaining top teeth won't fill the gap as not very overcrowded on top. Ortho wants 2 out on bottom and 2 on top so mouth more stable, whatever that means!

Hang on in there you'll be amazed how good it feels when main expander out.
