  1. Christie,

    Results like this really make my day.

    You look great! I wish I looked like I was in my twenties again.

    I could not be happier for you!

  2. Hello Christie
    You are having amazing results. I see from your first posting you did 3 rotations on the appliance. How often after that did you make an adjustment?
    Thanks for you reply.

    1. Hi,
      Just recently started doing some tongue training exercises and am now able to turn the appliance every day to every other day! This is really cool how this all works together. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feUjLmwIsI

  3. Hey Christie! Looking great! And thank you for posting the retainer, too.

    Your blog has been a very helpful case study for those of us following a similar process and/or thinking about embarking on one. I'm in the middle of my own expansion and enjoying my results so far.

    Do you have any updates with regards to what the plan of action will be once you're done expanding? You commented previously about some invisilign or other braces for some tipping and so on. Is this still the plan? For me, because my expansion has opened up some spaces in the front, we'll be doing braces to shift the teeth forward in the mouth and deposit the spaces more in the back of the mouth so that they won't affect my smile. I don't know how this will work exactly, but I’m trusting my dentist. But you don't look like you have any 'unsightly' spaces, so I'm curious what your plan of action will be.

    Thanks for all your updates. And do know that your blog is helping many!

    1. Hi,
      Thank you for your positive feedback! My dentist is allowing me to expand as long as I am seeing positive results. At my most recent visit he did mention braces or invisilign to finish things off. I am happy he allows me to expand until I am ready to move to anything else. I have been holding out so that my one side of my face can fill out more to catch up with the other. I am very excited because I am seeing a ton of growth again now that I am doing tongue exercises in addition to the appliance. I did a youtube search for tongue thrust and for a great video to help correct my issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feUjLmwIsI
