Answers:
i had that too... I hated the expander, u will get used to not moving ur tongue so far up where the food gets stuck, and also if it does get stuck theres a way u can suck the food out of it. i know it sounds gross but i had to learn that. I had the one that u have to turn everyday and it expands more. denpending on how wide they need it to get will depend on how long u have them. I used mine for i think about 5 months. I hate it but i learned to tolerate it... if u have the one that u have to turn to get bigger everyday make sure u do as ur orthodontist says cuz i forgot to do it sometimes and it just made m wear them longer. But hang in there, i know how u feel! I have my braces off now and the results are worth it!!!
