Can Rotterdam Midline Distractors help? Also Bologna Midline Distractors or MSDO.
All 3 are extremely similar

How much does this cost and what is it are they widening your jaw
Yes it’s similar to distraction osteogenesis where new bone is consolidated and I don’t see how that’s even possible where bone growth isn’t guaranteed after being disrupted, although it could be a possibility. My question is does it widen the entire lower jaw? If so then that is extreme life fuel and would tell my ortho to expand 2cm laterally to give me that Meeks look. This is all transversal expansion laterally, The same company also offers saggital expansionI’m not very familiar with these. Do you know how the gap gets filled in at the end?
Is it a similar mechanism of action to distraction osteogenesis that the idea is that the bone will fuse together and grow new?
I’d be more inclined to worry about a lack of bone growth after extending and then requiring something like a bone graft. Maybe that’s a bit extreme though.
Im assuming you visit your ortho every few weeks with this device to make sure everything is all good?

Yeah that is indeed huge.Yes it’s similar to distraction osteogenesis where new bone is consolidated and I don’t see how that’s even possible where bone growth isn’t guaranteed after being disrupted, although it could be a possibility.

I believe fillers should be injected beneath the muscle to look good. Otherwise it would probably just look bloated and undefined.I’m gonna get 2ml fillers soon to see the result. If it looks fine I’ll look for perma fillers (i.e. bellafill) or implants. Not sure about chin wing .
you look ubermensch in your avi have you already looksmaxed ?one of my biggest flaws - bigonial width

I am looksmaxxing and it's still a long way to go but I appreciate your statementyou look ubermensch in your avi have you already looksmaxed ?
Yeah that is indeed huge.
I would probably contact the makers and ask them your questions as it seems these are relatively unfamiliar devices it seems in this community and would be less prone to knowing
I wonder how long the process would take in total for that amount of movement, and obvious the device has to be surgically placed as well no? Or would local aenesthetic like In a dentists office suffice?
@her @SirGey @Almu does the entire jaw widen? The simulation is said what to expect from the device

Distractors and fixators for CMF surgery
In many cases, distraction osteogenesis now represents the method of choice. There is hardly any craniomaxillofacial problem to which we have not responded by designing a special distractor to solve it.www.klsmartin.com
Here’s the site, click on mandible and see the ones that I shared on this post. I can’t really tell if the entire lower jaw widened or just the certain area that was targeted (chin)
is your avi a morph of ERiksen and Maher ?Palate expanders. This guy's facial width increased by 8 millimeters (I think both bizygomatic and bigonial but especially bizygomatic) after using the Homeoblock upper and lower appliance. Also you can increase facial width by an extra 1-2 millimeters by getting straight teeth if you have a few crooked teeth. I would recommend Invisalign aligners considering it doesn't destroy your maxilla.
The down time on that is insane, around a month and it isn’t intra-oral but very interesting nonetheless. What’s your thoughts on the mandibular expander?
Sadly no, the back of your mandible rotate outward to allow the front side to widen, but the bigonial width only depends on the distance between the 2 mandibular fossae of your temporal bones. So the only way to legit incresaise bigonial width is from implant.MSDO expands the lower jaw, so theoretically it could give you a wider bigonial width.
But hgh+ chewing isn't cope.Sadly no, the back of your mandible rotate outward to allow the front side to widen, but the bigonial width only depends on the distance between the 2 mandibular fossae of your temporal bones. So the only way to legit incresaise bigonial width is from implant.
But if you are a narrowcell, you would need a bug amount of widening, and as the mandible is located under cheekbones, you cannot widen your mandible wider than your actual inner zygoma. So only hgh can save narrowcells, to widen all the facial bones, and a skull implant.
so chewing would widen the jaw?your skull suture never totally close untill elderly. They are less movable, but remain unossified. Chewing is violent for your bone that would need to adapt.
