Jaw Appliance-Update
This has been removed by the dentist 12/13/10 after two times having to replace it. Due to the fact we fill that the Ortho does not want to deal with Andrew and his gag reflexes he removed this and says we will wait until he is 12 or 14 to try again. We will be seeking another opinion since he made us feel like it had to be done or we break his jaw. We are no just waiting to see if we will get any of the $1000 we paid up front back.
So guess you could say we are two for two on dentist that do not wish to treat Andrew after having break down trying to get in his mouth and/or tossing cookies in more then one office.

Andrew's Jaw Appliance
The palatal expander "expands" (widens) your upper jaw by putting gentle pressure on your upper molars each time an adjustment is made. Your orthodontist will instruct you about when and how to adjust your expander. When you achieve the desired expansion, you will wear the appliance for several months to solidify the expansion and to prevent regression.
Andrew had one of these put in his mouth yesterday and we all are having a hard time adjusting to it. Causing him a lot of pain and discomfort at the current time. We have to make adjustments twice a day to it spreading out his upper jaw. Sounds like he will be getting spacers in the bottom as well. We would wear it for him if we could. He has to do it this way or we go in and break his jaw and wire together until it spaces out. He talks funny for the time being but they have assured us that will go away over time. He is having trouble chewing and eating food due to it getting stuck her his wind up box. Other then that over time should get better they told us but they also told us there would be no pain either and they were not home with him last night or this morning. We go back on the the 8th for bottom part of this "appliance" and to check everything...
