Sometimes the diastema closes as it opens so you don´t notice it. The miniscrews are far apart and the only way it happens is the suture to open. No way they migrate inside the bone.
wow interesting. one night after the 18th turn I heard a crack/pop sound and felt something weird in my palate (no pain) it might be the time it opened
Well, im past expansion now so the arms got cut off, and the device will stay there for a while. Im on braces now. I just meant to say i didn't have a big gap either, if any, lol.
did you notice any difference though? smile, palate width or breathing?
by any chance did you also get one of the screws lodged in the palate tissue creating pain?
One of the screws in my palate lodged in the tissue and its purple now.
I did one turn a day for 18 days then 2 days break(was waiting for checkup appointment) then twice a day for one week(today being 3rd day of that week)
I definitely see a difference in the gap between your front screws!
Totally agree !

Exactly. That s what it feels when the suture cracks open. Some people notices it like that. How many turns you do per day?
currently twice a day for one week
That´s a low force protocol so it may explain why you didn´t notice the diastema. As it opens is closes by itself.
Same happened to me. My ortho was convinced it splitted while I wasn't, lol
what did you do ?

for sure!
When did you split snd how old are you? And did you have a surgical assist like piezo cut ?
no cuts/surgery, 21 yo
Thanks how many turns / days did it take to split ?

Do you know when your palate splitted?
