I have bimaxillary protrusion with a recessed midface.
I’m getting MSE to widen my palate to help me breathe better and also to widen smile and make my upper jaw as wide as lower (right now it’s narrower). During expansion Invisalign will be used to retract my front teeth that are flared out giving me ugly profile. But I’m doing this I could get a slight underbite which the ortho said he will then use face mask puller to pull maxilla forward but I e heard such mixed results and some negative info about the face masks pushing your chin back and causing downward growth.
Ideally I’d fix any underbite developed with jaw surgery but I can’t afford it and I don’t know if insurance will cover.
Are there any legit ways to move maxilla forward during MSE (full maxilla not just alveolar bone) other than jaw surgery or face mask?
