Jaw surgery and MARPE

[Brandon_Ascend]

How do I find a well trusted MARPE orthodontist and even a good jaw surgeon? I was looking to switch orthodontists to see if I can find one that will give me MARPE. When I went in for a consolation, he said he can give me it, but it might misalign my bite. Also, the orthodontic place only has 22 reviews with a 3.5 average. Also, looking at there oral surgeons, highest rating was like 3.3 with 300+ reviews. I think a lefort 2 would ascend my midface, as moving just my lower jaw will make my face look flat.

Also, current orthodontists wants me to wear class 2 rubber bands, but my incisors are tipping inwards a little, but the MARPE ortho said he can flare them back out and retract, which I assume would be little retraction. Main reason to switch would be because of MARPE, which I heard can help give a little cheek forward growth with time.

Any advice on what I should do?

MARPE doesnt work in anteroposterior plane , will just widen ur palette / maxilla cuz it works in the horizontal plane and to be really honest its not worth going just for the aesthetics since it wont ascend you unless u have a 2mm palette or sm sht boyo just a good idea for functionality issues like sleep apnea etc

an orthodontist told me that my upper and lower jaws are narrow. marpe will be able to fix the upper, but I am a little worried about the lower. Getting MARPE would still be better than having my upper teeth pointing inwards right?

if ur lower jaw is narrow as well getting MARPE would expand maxilla horizontally leaving lower jaw narrow so u would have to think abt some shit for that too, and if ur upper teeth are pointing inwards u have bite problems which cud be addressed by the MARPE followed by some orthodontic treatment ig go for it but ud have to consult w ur ortho about lower jaw as well beforehand dont go into MARPE blindfolded

alr. I went to my current orthodontist yesterday and he said that to treat my class 2 bite, I need to wear rubber bands. I think my mandible is a little-mildly recessed and same with my maxilla. If I am understanding this correctly, MARPE can help correct my narrow maxilla and possibly help make it unrecessed, and possibly make my mandible do CCW rotation to help it move forward like a small amount of mm right?

I started with an overbite/overjet, but now my top front teeth look smaller and my smile has a little gums showing. I might go back to talk to the MARPE orthodontist and ask how he plans to treat my overbite. Would it be possible for you to determine if my case needs surgery based on a side profile photo?

I really appreciate your information!

uh as i said it wont treat recession as a whole, when u talk abt recession its about both the anteroposterior plane and horizontal plane even tho anteroposterior projection counts more imo, so ur mandible will not get ccw rotation from MARPE no way beacuse thats not the function of a MARPE and u wont get any forward growth too , very little gum show is fine even i have that but an excess is due to maxiallary excess which u would need surgery for and whatever u have mentioned ccw forward growth all would need surgery . like i said before MARPE will not ascend u it will js help for better functionality (nasal breathing etc) the most u can get honestly is maybe ur zygos pop out laterally but wont give that hollow cheek look since forward projection is missing. sure u can send side profile and if u dont mind can u pm the a palette pic i wanna see how narrow
