The Expander!!!

Hey there. Today I got my expander in. I do not like it at all, but my mom said that in a few weeks I will not really realize that it is there.

Here are some reasons why I don't like it!
  1. I can not swallow very well . That is because the expander is on the roof of my mouth and that is were I put my tongue when I swallow.

  2. There is a little gap in between the roof of my mouth and the expander and gets food stuck there a lot.

  3. It is hard to eat because there is not much room in my mouth to chew the food with.

  4. And last of all.........it hurts like the dickins. I would have to say I am glad that I got it now so that I get it done and over with sooner than later.

Well that is how I am doing. How are you doing? Oh here is a picture of my expander and the tool that my mom has to use to it with. And please pray for me. Please pray that my teeth do not hurt very badly. And that the time will pass fast so I can get it off. If you have any questions you want to ask me please leave a comment and ask me and I will be sure to answer it for you. Well talk to you later.

Sweet Emily, the time will pass fast and you will be able to get those braces on and in a couple of years have beautiful straight teeth and be able to show them off with your bright and gorgeous smile. Keep looking up.

Emily, your grandmother is right, soon you'll have an even more beautiful smile! But I think I asked you when you posted about getting your braces soon to keep us posted. So thank you for that. I'll be praying for the pain. Jesus is the ultimate healer.

Yes, I remember all those things about when Adriana had her expander. She didn't have to have hers very long hopefully you won't either.

Hey Emily,
I hope you are doing okay. I didn't have to get expanders but I did get spacers and I know that those were really annoying because you cant chew on your back teeth; so those must hurt really bad. I hope you get them off really soon.
Love,
Anna Carol
