I just got my expander off a month ago and I was soooo glad!. It is very normal for ur expander to hurt when you eat or chew!. My advice would be eat very soft foods!. It will feel better after about a week!. Untill I would reccomend to eat soup, ice cream, popcicles, jello, pudding, and oatmeal!. Also after a week or so of cranking your expander, your front teeth may separate!. This is normal as well!. Hope you get to feeling better, and hope this helps!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, this is totally normal! The palatal expander is doing its job!.
It will stop hurting in a few days!. When you go back to the orthodontist for an adjustment it will ache for a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
