Today my son had his Phase 1 braces put on. He has been wearing upper and lower expanders (torture devices) since December. So now that he has the braces on, he knows a little bit of the hell I have been going through for a week. Just wait until tomorrow... it gets worse.
It's kind of cute to have braces along with my kid. Of course, he looks cuter than I do. Today I took some pictures of myself with braces, but I don't know if I am brave enough to post them. They definitely aren't "cute." The doctor reminded me again that my bite is going to get much worse. I can only imagine...

Dont worry it will be worth it.. the time will fly by!
If you are talking about palate expanders, they CERTAINLY are torture devices. Your son has my sympathies!
My sympathies to your son as well, I hated the HIRAX. Does he turn them himself?
He didn't complain too much about the expanders. I turned them for him. It never occurred to me that he could do it. (I suppose he could have) When he got them out, he said it "felt weird". It almost sounded like he missed them. :)
