First post, forgive me for not knowing how to properly format it.

My problems:
  • Permanent purple colouring in UEE since childhood
  • Zero cheekbone prominence
  • Zero infra prominence
  • Mouth breather by default, have to force myself to nose-breathe (tape at night)
  • Tongue touches teeth on both sides when I touch my palate
  • Crowded teeth (incisors still not completely down, 17 btw)
  • Long (mid)face
  • Have never felt truly well rested after sleeping
My situation:
  • I go to an orthodontist and have braces (brackets). I've had them for around 1.5y but my teeth on top (incisors) STILL aren't down.
  • 17, so still insured for whatever + sutures not closed yet (hopefully)
Hypothesis:
  • Infra's/cheekbones will become more prominent
  • Purple colouring will (mostly) disappear
  • More nasal airflow, thus increasing oxygen levels (?)
  • No more snoring, drastically improved sleep quality
  • Tongue can rest comfortably on palate
  • Teeth will no longer crowd, and comfortably sit in their place
  • FWHR will increase
  • Overall better life due to better sleep/looks
The question:
Will MARPE save me and prove my hypothesis?
