Is my palate narrow enough for MARPE? (PHOTOS INCLUDED)

[badacne]

I am very boneless, like extremely boneless. I have permanent dark circles, noticeable nasolabial folds, and I wake up with a dry mouth almost every night. My tongue also doesn’t seem to fit properly on the roof of my mouth.

When I try to breathe only through my nose, after around 25–50 breaths I feel like I need to breathe through my mouth or yawn. I also can’t really do cardio while breathing only through my nose because I eventually have to switch to mouth breathing.

Is my palate narrow enough for MARPE, and would the orthodontist allow me to do it? I also lack a lot of forward growth, and I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do about that too.

I’ve heard how many orthos screw people over. I’ve read a lot about MARPE and think it’s the best bet for me. If they don’t give it to me, I’m just going to go to a different ortho until they do.

make sure your orthodontist has an emphasis on airway and bite, they'll probably give it to u anyway tho

Praying they do. It’s literally my biggest flaw. I’m hard caped at LTN-LMTN. If I got my maxilla fixed, I think I could scratch HTN. I’m praying they’ll allow me to fix it.

Same here tbh. It first started off for looks then I went to my dentist appointment and they were basically like, dawg, you’re fucked up. Then I told them about all the problems I’ve had since I was like 5 with my mouth and airways and they said I should look into ortho. Which is awesome because now my mom is on board with it.
