[quote=Anonymous]My son’s ortho was recommended to us by his OT who said this practice works very well with kids who have special needs. They told us that they had a different type of palate expander that doesn’t involve the long shape key stick that my kid fears and has a lot of anxiety over. We tried  to install an expander last year and he wouldn’t have any of it. So this practice told us there’s another option but lo and behold I find out today we’re going with the usual device and he’ll have to let me turn the key every single day. Another dentist we went to require that only three times a week. I am so pissed off and they’re insisting there’s no other option and he just has to do it. I’m going to cancel the appointment. It will be hell otherwise. Before I do, though, is there anyway to get the office to please use the other device? They already have a down payment for me so I would be nice if they could make it work. I honestly feel like I was duped. My kid is 9 and isn’t expecting the awful stick that will make him gag because he’s highly sensitive. [/quote]
