I got mine several years ago, but I remember hating it! It was the kind that you crank at night so it expands, it was very uncomfortable, BUT the upside was I was able to speak normally with it in a few days!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got mine about two months ago (I still have it, AND braces), and it never actually hurt me!.
Yes, I have a lisp!.!.
But it is funny for the first couple of days because your tongue and mouth are getting used to having something new in your mouth!.
Trust me in a week, you won't know it's there!.!.!.
The only deal about the thing is the food gets stuck up there and is such a nuisance!. And you will get a gap between your teeth if whoever is turning your expander is doing it correctly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
