Palate Expansion

 Jake had his next step in the process today with a visit to the orthodontist.  The purpose, to put in the palate expansion device which would add support to his jaw while expanding his palate.  The device requires a daily turn of the mechanism.  The good news Jake once again showed his toughness and got the through the install with no reaction.  This will start a two month process to execute the spatial plan.  The orthodontist even remarked that Dr. Urata did more thsn originally indicated. That has often been the case where he knows the surgical path and will do as much as he can for future steps down the road.  Jake has been doing great and we are so happy this part didn’t set him back in the pain dept.  Jake has some swelling in his cheeks but he is on a nice healing trajectory.
