My RPE comes out July 22nd at 8am!!!!!!!!!! I am so freakin excited. On a less than positive note the ortho thinks the reason my front few teeth are still loose after surgery is because there is not enough room and she think I may have to have my bicuspids removed to make room. no fun! but that has barely fazed me now that i know I have a date to remove this horrible tourture device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7.5 months with this damn thing!!!! only 10 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So tell the truth.. those of you that have had an expander....How bad is the removal? quick and painless... slow tourture????? tell it like it is.... prepare me...

Congrats! I stumbled upon your blog through another one that I've been reading. I had SARPE last year (holy crap! It’s been over a year already?!) and I remember the day that I had my appliance taken out, about 7-8 months after surgery. I was so happy to have that dang thing out of my mouth! I've heard that some people actually take the thing home, have it dipped in gold, and then use it as a Christmas tree ornament... ew, gross. But, hey, if that's your thing... who am I to judge? I just wouldn't want the yearly reminder of that torture device (LOL). Anways, congrats on this wonderful step during your recovery. Best wishes on a speedy adventure in orthodontics! (I swear, I get asked everyday by someone, "So, when are you getting your braces off?" I wish they would stop asking…)
It’s nice to read a blog on someone that is going through the same thing I am, at roughly the same time (some blogs that I’ve read are about 1-2 years old).
