Gracie is currently without her expander, and LOVING IT!
We went back to her orthodontist for a routine checkup a few days ago, and he mentioned he wasn’t happy with how the expander fit in her mouth, and that it was a little loose. They tried tweaking it, but in the end decided to remove it, take new molds, and make a completely new appliance. At no charge to us, of course! It may sound like a hassle, but to me, it proved that our orthodontist is a great guy. He could have kept his mouth shut about it not fitting exactly right and hoped for the best, but instead he chose to do the right thing and replace the appliance for us. Yay for awesome orthodontists!
