Expander progress & check-up

Today I went to the ortho to check on my progress on my expander. Although I was being selfish & wanted my expander to not work so I could get this thing off, I am glad that this month hasn't been a waste of my time. Dr. Kolodziej told me that I have had more progress than he expected & that my results are turning out beautifully. My bite has changed already which I thought I felt it once but then it went away... haha I'm obviously very good acclimating.  I will give it 8 more turns making my mouth 2 more millimeters wider. So since I did 11 turns & he did one today, my mouth has already expanded apx 3 mm. Dr. Kolodziej told me that he's glad I'm keeping a positive attitude about it (hahaha I mean as much as I complain when I can't speak properly, it has gotten so much better) & that he expects even better results. He asked me how getting used to the expander was and truthfully now it's just something I've learned how to work around...mostly by eating pasta, good thing it's the love of my life! I will go back on October 23rd to check my results & then there will be a waiting process to "trick" my mouth into forming bone or having the bone in my mouth adjust to it. At least this annoyance in my mouth is paying off! Slow & steady!
