I’m going to the dentist next Monday and I’m apparently qualified for Invisalign. I’m not sure if should get Invisalign but I did hear it expands your palette like 1-2 mm. I also notice that my upper jaw is less expanded than my bottom jaw and my teeth doesn’t sit comfortably on my top teeth. I’m just not sure what to do about it yo.

Yeah agreed he should get it just not for projection
any mm increase would be benificial
They project <1mm (= not >1mm) with no constant projection results even when paired with face mask
But yeah maybe hes lucky and somehow gets a mm or two

MARPE might be best than, 6-8mm increase should def help him

If you want I could like show you my upper jaw
theres no need, if your bite doesnt align, ask your orthopedist about what he thinks about MARPE

Do you actually have a narrow palate? How much teeth show do you have?

Also do you have an underbite?

I have an overbite, and about 4 teeth prominently show, you can BARELY see the other 2 beside the front 4 teeth. Whenever I look at my upper jaw I can noticeably see it sorta cave in like in the middle. I notice assymetry with the jaw as if my lower jaw is a few mm to the left. I don’t notice any other major deformities other than like crooked teeth ig so yh.
 
Ooh I see. But if is it possible to fix this without getting like recession or extractions?
yeah, marpe doesnt recess at all it expands your maxailla and there is no need to extract because it goes in the middle of your pallet
