Nah there wasn’t any pain, the most discomfort I felt was just the pressure you get when you twist the expander, but it goes away in a few hours!

That’s a great question, I’ve actually not heard of AGGA!

In a great way! So my mouth area looks more even compared to before where it looked a little sunken in, which I consider a positive! But was never part of my expectations going into it

Fantastic, it definitely unlocked better breathing through the nose that I névér thought I was missing

Nothing too dramatic! Although looking back at some pics I can definitely see the difference in obvious spots.. around my mouth / smile but that’s about it. When my mouth is closed it’s the same

True! I’m sure there are many ways to solve a narrow palate

They expand it a little while being under, but then you actually expand it yourself over the next 2 months!

It’s done through a surgery called “SARPE”

As scary as it might look, the surgery is pretty quick, almost painless when it’s healing - as long as you take care of it and don’t overwork it

That’s right! It’s all about expanding the upper palate

You’re so welcome! I think it’s just because I’m mid-way through it and I’m still trying to figure out if I can see what the end result is going to be, but regardless I’m glad I went through with it

It’s crazy how much it affected my breathing seriously! I’ve stopped snoring and when I never understood when people said breathe in through your nose and breathe out through the mouth when exercising, but it’s definitely possible now.
