Adrienne now has the palatal expander in her mouth. Her speech is affected by it, but not as much as I was afraid it would be (after reading horror stories on the net). I have to crank it wider once a day, which causes her some discomfort.
Yesterday was Nate's birthday. Due to limited options, he got a pre-decorated butterfly & flowers cookie cake that we had to neutralize with a little masculinity. Who else can boast of having a hermaphrodite cake on their b-day?

How long does she have to wear that thing?
6-8 months and then a retainer. It doesn't hurt too much any more when I crank it - once the plates/bones or whatever separate and start moving I guess you get used to it.
Just another example of a medieval torture device with a practical use today.
