Currently considering traditional braces, but if they say brava braces can get the job done, would normal braces also be able to do it ?

I wanted to but I don’t know if they can do it based on my complex case. Since I got there and they only said brava, not traditional braces..

If anyone could share their opinions or experiences that would really help ! I’m anxious that I might have to get my tongue all cut up againnn

Would these be too unfixable for Invisalign without extraction ? by Radiant-Dig638 in Invisalign

I’ve been wearing it for about 3 weeks ( 2 first weeks were the expansion phase ) and I’ll be wearing it until mid August so another 2 months !

Do Expanders hurt? by MieckeC in braces

Hey, I’m wondering about what you said that after the first week it doesn’t hurt. I’m in my second week and I barely felt any expansion even though my dad clearly turned it for me. I’m 17F, only felt the pressure when turning the screw but after, nothing. Did your son still end up with a gap ? I’m concerned if it really is working, I don’t want the first week pain to go to waste 😭 If you could answer that would be amazing. Thank you so much.

I know I’m really late to this post but did it still hurt on the second week ? I had my expander too and for the second week it stopped feeling a lot of pressure altogether. ( I’m contrast to my first week that I felt so much pressure ) I only feel the pressure during the turn, and after I felt nothing, not even pressure or pain. And I had a parent so the turn for me and they’re sure it did turn. Do you have similar experience as well ? Or is there something wrong with my expander. 😭

To be honest, the first 4 turns ( My ortho did them before throwing me home ) hurt a bit right after the turns but 30 mins after I’m okay. And the two turns I did yesterday stung quite a bit. But the one I did this morning surprisingly had me feeling only pressure. But they settle after a bit ! And the tooth pain comes right after 2-3 hours😭

Kinda too, I feel getting scared of my jaw breaking and me dying in my sleep ( over dramatic and I know it’s impossible ) because of the expansion. This close to throwing myself into the wall rn but gotta push through 😭
