I'm getting one soon and I want to know at least the basics:
Does it hurt?
Do you only have to eat certain foods?
Can you take it out once in a while?
How long does it usually stay in?Advice/tips on a palatal expander?
Is it an expander that they put at the roof of your mouth? If it is, I used to have one. It wasn't removable and i had to tighten it every day with a key for a week or two. It made me talk funny and even though I don't have it anymore, I still talk funny. It may be because I still have braces, idk. And yes it is painful for a week or two, maybe more. It's hard to eat because the food gets stuck between the expander and the roof of your mouth, and it's harder to swallow because it's in the way of your tongue. I had mine for a year and a half.
