[quote=Anonymous]Op, my DD has sensory issues (only one brand of socks, clothes chosen for comfort, loud sound aversion, hair brushing is difficult) that got better with age and OT.

The palate expander was awful for her. She basically barely ate for 2 weeks and constantly complained it hurt and she coined swallow/chew. We went back to the orthodontist around day 10 to make sure everything was ok (it was). At some point around 2 weeks DD adjusted and things were fine.

The turns were actually ok - we never did more than one per night, so that probably helped.

Braces were also a lot of complaining, but it got better over time. The first few visits DD basically refused to eat anything because it hurt too much. but DD gets them off in 2 weeks and she survived and the final year was so much better.

Sorry I can’t offer any useful advice - it’s tough for kids who have these struggles. But DD’s sensory issues really are much better now (13) - can wear most clothes, tolerate most sounds, and mostly brushed hair without problems.[/quote]
