I am a mid 20s (curry / south asian) with a narrow and protrusive maxilla.
My front teeth are sticking out but the rest of my maxilla and cheekbones are very recessed, giving me deep nasolabial folds, and making me look like some kind of 45 year old beta male weasel, rat creature. I noticed in movies they always cast people who look like this as the weak villain who takes always advantage of people. i.e. https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/image_313f2629.jpeg Talking to girls in their 20s is out of the question. They even avoid sitting next to me on public transport.
Anyway, I decided to look into MSE thinking that it would improve the way that I look. I thought the MSE would weaken the sutures of the maxilla, and then I could bring the upper portion of the maxilla out using facemask, and pull back the front teeth later orthodontically to make it more balanced and help me look younger.
So I had my surgically assisted MSE installed about a month ago. The surgeon made partial cuts in the maxilla along the buttress to weaken it, and also split my midpalatal suture with a chisel. Right after the surgery I got around a 1 mm diastema.
44 turns later my diastema hasn't gotten any wider and the MSE is warping / bending. The ortho and surgeon both told me I am their first patient who failed to expand even with surgical assist. The facemask isn't working at all either.
In fact I think the MSE made me look worse. After the surgery, my IPD and and right nostril's alar base both increased by maybe 1 mm. Now my nose looks more like a deformed version of an African nose and less like a Caucasian one.
The surgeon is recommending me to go with a different type of distractor that looks like this:
I'm going to try back turning and forward turning the MSE a bunch of times so see if that works. And then try the other distractor. But if that doesn't work I'm just giving up. The surgeons and orthodontists are all bluepilled AF, saying "just get SARPE bro".
If I could go back in time I would have never wasted money on this in the first place. I would have bought a used BMW or something and just coped with that.
