Quad Expander Pain
Question, I've had my quad expander for about 2 months now and I wake up every day with an imprint from the expander causing my tongue to be in tremendous amount of pain, yesterday I woke up with a bloody tongue. Do you recommend anything I can wear through the night for my quad expander, for it to stop pressing against the expander through out the night? I've tried rpe tongue guards but they wouldn't stay on and they would rip. Just ordered some orthodots (wax) to try and put on the expander for overnight use.
