I wished I hadn't because the replacement pads have never stayed on and I have not had any luck on finding where to purchase new ones. So I would be interested in knowing where you can order these. I hadn't thought of the glue, I might try that.
I do not have any trouble with keeping it in place and working properly. I just don't feel like I have made any progress after the initial first month. I still can not get two fingers between my front teeth and my Prothodontist said that it might not get any better. When I was able to open it at the initial setting then I would turn the nob to increasse the opening and kept increasing until I got to the current setting, which is where I have been stuck.
