Pics of the progress

Before any work on the bottom and after Sarpe and braces started on the top

Expander free for a week and counting

I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful it feels to be expander free. The first couple days were absolutly amazing. My first meal without the torture device went so quickly and easily that when I was done eating I thought to my self that can't be it... It required almost no work to eat that meal. I forgot how easy it use to be to eat.
I am getting to the point now that life without the expander is beginning to feel normal, tho I still have those moments where suddenly out if nowhere I remember that I am expander free and I relish for a moment in the fact that I can touch the roof of my mouth, read a book to my daughter with out feeling like I just gave my mouth a huge workout, and can properly pronounce every letter of the alphabet without even trying....
Life is good
