We now have two kids in braces at the same time! Gracie got her expander yesterday.
It goes in the roof of her mouth and we turn a key every nite that causes her palate to expand or widen. This will help with her bulldog cross bite.
This pic gives you a great insight into why she has trouble with "S's" and "R's" - her palate is so narrow and deep and her tongue is so BIG that it is hard to get the right position for the R and S sounds.
That is a scary looking mouth. And in it, I see dollar signs....it is going to cost a fortune to fix!
