I had a check in at the Orthodontist today- I have turned the MSE 41 times and it is open 8.1 mm!
Still, no diastema. However, she still thinks I am doing great and on track and I am so crowded up front she is not surprised. I am to keep turning twice a day, and I go back in after 9 more days, on the 29th.
Everything is fine, TMJD symptoms are so surprisingly good! No major pain days at all.
The worst part is just my tongue being sore from rubbing on the MSE but it's still tolerable.
Bonus- I am down 8lbs and saving money from just having shakes at work :3

8-3-2019 Update
So everything is going fine.
I only needed the pain meds the day of installation and the day after.
My teeth hurt because my bite is now off, and I clench all night. I talk a bit funny, but really, it's fine.
Soft food for breakfast, 2 shakes during work, then whatever for dinner. I just really have to use the water pick, brush, and rise after any solid food.
Morning hurts the most from chomping all night, but it wears off after a couple of hours.
Also, cranking it hasn't been an issue at all yet.
No evidence of a diastema and I've done 8 turns.
Good night.
