Jaw Surgery question, Sagittal split or FME

[MischlingTruecel]

I'm a 19 yo poorcel who needs trimax with impaction/ccw but my palate is fairly narrow. Is it possible/safe to get LF1 sag split WITH impaction/ccw or should I spend 1-2 yrs of my prime saving and expanding with a bone borne expander like FME before getting Trimax.

If its pretty narrow get the fme or marpe first. I did it that way and was worth it in the end. Aesthetically and functionally. Some Drs are transitioning to incorporating marpe over segmental for their surgeries.

I'm glad I chose to get the full treatment. Expensive as hell though and your just hyped the whole time waiting for surgery. But you could get some nice midface augmentation from the expander in the meantime. I did.

Thanks, did u get marpe or FME? I've heard FME is significantly more expensive but ultimately worth it

There are not many FME cases yet, keep that in mind. I’m also looking into FME and the main thing stopping me rn is the scarcity of data. Custom marpe just has an abundance of data over FME. Fme is looking very promising however
