In preparation for my SARPE on December 9,2008 I needed to have a pallet extender inserted on four molars on the roof of my mouth. I describe it as a torture device and right before Thanksgiving.... ugh.
The orthodonist had a difficult time getting it to stay as of course my upper pallet is small as it is this is the reason for this first surgery. Once my upper jaw is broken the pallet extender will need to be cranked open until my upper jaw is wide enough.
I did not realize how difficult it was going to be to eat! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING gets stuck up there. The worst part was my speech... I talk on the phone for a living and I sound like I am hearing impared. I can not say the vowel "E" like eat, feed, sea, or even be... My son makes fun of me, he is lucky he doesnt need one!
