OH MY GOD! I finally figured it out thanks to this video. Your description of the error people make pulling the key out allowed me to figure out what was going wrong with ours. It was ever so slightly moving the screw just enough that I couldn't get it back in the front hole for the next turn. Thank you so much for posting this video. I watched about a dozen and yours was the best one by far.

You’re a lifesaver! My assistant wasn’t very helpful with the instructions whereas you laid it all out so perfectly. Tysm.🎁

Thank you for this! 2nd night of turning and I couldn't figure out where the hole was.... this explains it!

What if I see no space after the allotted days the orthodontist assigns how many turns you need to do with the key?

[jscsdeskc]

Very informative and well explained. Thank you!

[brendamonrreal]

so the number on the spander stays the same even after you move the spander?

So my daughters ortho has us doing 16 turns but we go back in a month. That doesn’t make sense to me. Why would we not go back in 16 days when the 16 turns are done?

Every time my father turns it the rhing slips out of the hole and into the back of my throat and it hurts what is going on

Wow, that's amazing! So the palate doesn't fuse together fully?
