Well to activate it or crank it, lay down on your back and have your mom or someone stick the key into the little hole and then have them twist it. It's gonna put a lot of pressure on your teeth and it probably will be sorta painful for a little while. And don't worry your speech will come back within like a week... It's really not so bad.. after awhile you even forget it's there! well good luck with that, if you need to know anything else lemme know!

So my mom took me to Burger King and I got fries stuck up there and everything. It was really funny, but that's besides the point. It actually takes awhile before you can talk and eat properly. It took me at lease a couple of months. Don't worry though, you'll get used to it soon and you wont know even notice it's there.
