So i had lower braces (teeth) installed - at the time of writing also has quad helix expander (tell you later). The first few days wearing braces were grueling. I had saliva issue and end wire poking cheek, it was truly painful. Plus the dentist applied two molar bands for upper jaw to make way for the expander. After a week it gotten so much better, chewing better felt like jaws had adjusted. I had a ceramic type, looks better and not noticeable since they were on the lower only.
Update 4th April 2018:
Moving the premolar is very slow, it might pull the molar to the premolar. It might be a string premolar or other condition. The quad helix is not showing any major improvement, it has been almost three weeks after last adjusment and total 5 weeks installed.
Update 25th April 2018:
The premolar moved, a bit but it moved, yay. The QH showing some signs but real real real slow. No upper braces yet. Had missing band, so need to be back after a week.
Update September 2018:
Been a while, upper braces, had a tooth from lower pulled out, upper jaw further than lower now (teeth perspective); may need to take expander out (how human can get comfortable after period of time with such equipment in mouth is astounding).
