About to get it for real this time after this meeting with the ortho.
Here are some tips I will follow.
1. Never over expand
Literally you can always gain too much but even a small amount of expansion can really be life changing. Especially if you are doing it for reasons beyond appearance even small expansion will massively help the airway. Only turn it once per day max and always make sure not to over do it. Don't get greedy. Even a tiny 3 MM expansion is going to be noticeable
2. If you wear a face mask or face bow wear it 24/7
I think I will have mine on for 3 months to fix my underbite and get some forward expansion. I am not ultra recessed but its noticeable. I will wear it 20+ hours a day even when I sleep. People have said facemask does not work but most of the people saying this wore it 8 hours a day it only works if majority of your day you have it on otherwise the progress reverts leading to slow if any progress so only wear if you seriously wanna wear this 22 hours a day
3. Expand the lower as well
You need a plan for the lower jaw like MSDO its best to get these done either together or you can do it later. If you get MSE alone then make sure to really expand less so the top isn't noticeable bigger then the bottom.
Other general advice while you do this take MK677 D3 K2 and other things to promote bone growth as this will accelerate and improve the effects. The main take away is do not over expand and stop if you see any asymmetries if you are slow with expansion and don't over do it you won't get any
