There are 2 documented marpe expansions on tiktok that I have been keeping up with (paired with reverse pull headgear) and I have noticed that their expansion has increased zygo Matic width as well as under eye support leading to an increased canthal tilt angle.

If I do get marpe (UK) I will be expecting these results, the problem is what if it doesn't happen. I can't find any other documented expansions let alone in the UK so I just want to know what needs to be accounted for as well
 
its marginal from someone who got 4-5mm marpe expansion

Bwython's expansion journey has been crazy, he's come a long way. Obviously, expansion is best when like 7-12 ideally, but the transformations I've been seeing have been unreal. If you have it covered and money isn't a problem, then go ahead, obviously there can be complications with orthodontics, but I'd say its one of the safer options. I got it when I was 13 (crowed teeth) and it worked great, got way more attention from girls but only attributed it to that once I got older.

That's a decent expansion, if I get accepted that will probably be how much I expand by.
Did you have reverse pull headgear with it?

Before you got it did you have any recessions or poor bone support in any places?

My teeth were really shitty, I had teeth all over kinda like in this picture (even worse), with both of my top teeth like that and my bottom left one too. It grew because there wasn't enough space, so the expansion helped fix that problem. Even then, I remember that my orthodontist told me that its a bit late, and it should've been done ideally a couple years ago, but you probably don't have that much crowding. My parents chose the expander instead of removing the teeth (thank god) and that also helped, because you never want to pull teeth. Braces helped put it all in place. Right now I have some pretty nice bones, but I can't really say for back then, because, well firstly, I wasn't checking out my bones, I was enjoying my life (like the 13 year olds on here should), and secondly they weren't fully developed. But looking at old pictures, I had decent bones, but can't really see too up-close if I had much recession (I don't have any now).
