[quote=Anonymous]My autistic DS struggled so bad to even keep his mouth open at the appointment that the orthodontist gave up and recommended the Invisalign palate expander instead. I think the relief of not having to follow through with the fixed one made it easier for him to accept the Invisalign. He did about 6 months of expansion and now he wears the retainer at night. The plastic worked a lot better for him in terms of the feeling of having it in his mouth than the metal, plus not having someone else’s hands in his mouth the install it and turn the key. He just started the actual Invisalign (in addition to the palate expander) and that’s been a bit tougher because you have to take it out and put it back in a lot vs the palate expander that only came out for cleanings. Just wanted to throw that in since it sounds like not a lot of folks here have ended up doing it this way.[/quote]
