[quote=Anonymous]My kid has extreme sensory issues and had panic attacks at the dentist. When it became clear she needed a palette expander I honestly didn’t know how we would be able to do it. We did a removable one and she worked up to getting it in her mouth very slowly. It was so awful. I am not going to sugar coat it. We barely made it through the fitting appointments even though the orthodontist was great. But slowly slowly she got used to it and eventually wore it all night every night and was able to get the space she needed. It’s possible that the permanent one would have been better but we were worried she would still panic and try to rip it out. [/quote]
