Apples

Hi Palate Expander Friends!

I am so proud of all of you and thank you for your comments and writing such nice things to me.

The one question I keep getting lately over and over is about eating apples. Everyone seems to have trouble eating them. They get stuck! I remember that. Lots of food gets stuck and all the time you hear from your mom and your dad and your doctor and your dentist that you are supposed to eat healthy food but apples are hard. So, if you are just getting your palate expander on, you should try to eat only soft foods because it hurts but you can still eat apples, once you have that time when you don't have to turn the key anymore would probably be a good idea. If when you eat the apple and any food really, that you feel it getting stuck, remember to use that little toothbrush your dentist gives you to get it out. And don't forget to keep brushing and use mouthwash too to try and rinse the stuck food out.

Hi to my Palate Expander Friends,

One of the questions that was asked of me recently was whether or not you might have to get a palate expander when you have braces. The question is YES. Here is a picture I found of what it looks like to have braces and a palate expander at the same time.  I only had my palate expander on without the braces. I don't have all of my big teeth yet so I can't have braces yet, but I was thinking about how much it hurts when you have a palate expander and it must really hurt when y ou have both so I thought about it about the food and this is what you might want to eat when you have both especially.

Soup - like chicken noodles - soft...no chunks of chicken

Scrambled eggs (those got me through the really hungry times!)

Yogurt (though I don't like it but my mom said to write it!)

mashed potatoes

drink milkshakes - yeh!

Jello

rasberries (I love them! You can kind of suck them down and suck on them and they don't make you choke!)

Don't eat anything that you are going to have to chew! Oh, I forgot, my favorite - PUDDING!

My mom says I have to put something he althy on the list so how about V-8 juice because thats vegetables and I love vegetables especially cucumbers but V-8 I find kind of gross but I guess you should have something healthy too.

What do YOU eat with your palate expander or braces????

It worked!  My dentist is amazing! If you look at my teeth now, that wire they had put on fixed my front teeth that were going behind my bottom teeth and it really didnt hurt.
How r u guys all doing with your palate expanders???? leave a comment and i will answer you soon!
