Is sagittal expansion worth it?

[craigthecow271]

I am still growing my mid palatal suture has not yet closed. I've consulted multiple orthodontists before consulting with an airway orthodontist to finally get an offer that I desire. The treatment plan is, non-surgical sagittal palatal expanion, traditional braces or invisalign, coupled with myofunctional therapy. I have looked into this quite thoroughly but I am still unsure if it will be worth it, I understand I will not get a substantial amount of forward growth or anything of that manner. But I would like others opinions on this treatment. Would this treatment plan be worth it?

what answer do you want?? first of all, a random incel on forums isnt going to give you any good advice for your specific case, second of all you already have consulted orthodontists, and third of all if you want to do it because you have a bad airway you should do it.

if you have a narrow airway its worth it, just go with what your orthodontists say.

mps can be open until 20s to even 30s in rare cases
not a valid way of determining if you are growing vertically
