Happy Birthday To Me! Thanks for your comments!

Today is my 9th Birthday! One of the things I told my Mom that I wanted is that I can help even more people with my blog so I hope my wish comes true. Already we have over 12,000 hits and remember, I always check every so often to answer your comments.

Sarah, who recently got her palate expander wrote in to ask if the turns get any easier. Well I think I can say that they do because it is something you kind of get used to but it still hurts. Remember, every day that you turn it, is one less day. That is what I kept thinking or at least my mother kept sayiing to me.

Another comment came from Caroline who said she has a peanut stuck in her palate expander and can't get it out. It was written a couple of weeks ago and I am sorry I haven't written sooner. But, I think by now you know that now you know you cannot eat ALL foods, an dmaybe peanuts are somethin gyou should avoid. My dentist had told me to stay away from nuts and popcorn and hard candy and of course gum.

I am proud of all of you for going through this with your palate expander. You are doing an awesome job and you should be proud of yourself.

Please tell your friends who have palate expanders abou tmy blog. I would love to be able to help them too.

have a good day.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS SITE, REMEMBER TO GO TO OLDER POSTS FROM WHEN I HAD MY PALATE EXPANDER ON

Happy New Year 2012! It is a new year. I am looking at my teeth and wondering when will I now get braces? I still have the big space in between my two front teeth from when I had the palate expander. The dentist says it will stay that way until I get my braces but I really need them I think and I would like tow rite about that too so I can help more kids like I am doing now. But I only have like 6 teeth that have come out so I have to wait but my bottom teeth really need braces I think.
Back to the palate expander stuff...


Linda from San Antonio wrote in and asked about the talking and the extra saliva because her son just got th epalate expander last week. How are you doing???
The talking gets better in time and remember, this is not on for a long time, less than a year so don't worry. With me I don't really think a lot of people even noticed I was talking different. The saliva was a big deal in the bginning when I first got my palate expander but then it got better and I wasn't drooling so much.

Happy new year!
