i just had a consultation with audrey yoon who does MSE and she thinks i am eligible for MARPE (lifefuek)
my initial concerns in the thread below were that my narrow arch was too small to get good maxillary expansion

turns out my lower jaw is actually relatively the same size as my maxilla. my mandibular teeth are just too lingually tipped so i can get that sorted out relatively easy.
now heres the best part... she said i could get 8mm expansion on my maxilla. apparently she has achieved as much as 18mm maxillary expansion on those with severe maxillary deficiency.
i asked about facemask therapy in conjunction with MSE and she thinks i could pull my maxilla slightly forward so i have perfect occlusion. my midface would also probably come forward which in conjunction with MSE would make my cheekbones and entire midface pop.
treatment time of MARPE would be a total of 6 months. the first 7 weeks of treatment is the initial expansion and the rest of the time the appliance stays in so the new bone can form. also she assured me the skeletal expansion achieved was permanent.
cost of total MARPE is around $3000.
one thing that stuck out to me was she said forward growth is more important for eruption of the wisdom teeth. guess im cucked then
this procdure will permanently widen my arch as well as increase nasal breathing volume.
a little off topic but for those who want proper skeletal expansion in the mandible there is mandibular disraction surgery to widen the actual mandible itself.
ask me any questions and i'll try to answer them my best.

is it a good idea to try and expand my lower jaw
so i have severe mandibular anterior crowding that i want to sort out asap by ordering a schwarz plate for my lower jaw. as it stands my imw is 5mm wider on my maxilla than my mandible. do you guys know aproximately how much bigger the upper dental arch should be or should they be the same? if i...
