Help!!!!!!! Palate expander problems!?!
Question: Help!!!!!!! Palate expander problems!?
I got a palate expander put in 17 days ago, it cut my tongue A LOT but after the first 4 or 5 days it was healed, but today I woke up and it hurt REALLY bad and I had cuts on it again! Why did it cut my tongue again?
Answers:
You are moving your tongue around and playing with the thing while you sleep. I really don't know what you can do to prevent it. Could you maybe place ortho wax on the sharper areas before you go to sleep? That might do the trick.
